From Bellarmine College Preparatory

What differentiates Bellarmine from other schools? The answer is the Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person: intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Since 1851, Bellarmine–a private, non-profit, fully accredited, Catholic, all-boys high school–has been instrumental in the character development of “men for and with others,” men who go on to be difference-makers locally and globally. As students pursue a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and take part in our extensive co-curricular programs, they are also challenged to seek truth and justice. Our faith-based values are central to all endeavors at the school, and are evident in student achievements and in the respectful way in which success is accomplished. With the support of a caring and compassionate faculty and staff, and an actively-engaged parent community, the Bellarmine experience offers the opportunity to learn with passion and live with purpose.
