Why Bellarmine?

Welcome to Bellarmine Admissions and thank you for your interest in becoming a part of our dynamic educational tradition which spans more than 160 years.

Founded in 1851 by the Jesuits, Bellarmine is a private, non-profit, fully-accredited, Catholic, independent, all-boys high school. Our school offers many opportunities to grow and develop intellectually, physically, and spiritually, both inside and outside the classroom.

Four Reasons Why Bellarmine!

• We offer an interesting and challenging academic program that prepares each student to go on to college, with many of our alumni attending some of the finest schools in the country. Students thrive in classes as diverse as Biochemistry, multiple levels of Calculus, World Religions, a William Faulkner Seminar, Symphonic Band and Ceramics.
• Outside of the classroom, Bellarmine students enjoy participating in our 13 sports, with 36 total teams. Bellarmine meets with a remarkable amount of success in these athletic endeavors, having won more CCS titles than any other school.
• We boast an extensive co-curricular program. From our more than 70 student-organized clubs, to a thriving Theatre Arts program, one of the most successful Speech and Debate programs in the country, an award-winning yearbook, a robotics team that claimed victory in the 2011 World Championships of Robotics and a quiz bowl team which captured the 2012 High School National Championship, we truly do have something for everyone!
• Most importantly, Bellarmine accomplishes all of this in an atmosphere that teaches students to practice generosity - to live up to the challenge of the Jesuit motto of becoming "Men for Others" - students dedicated to the betterment of their world. This devotion to others manifests itself through the thousands of hours of service performed by our students each year, as well as the numerous spiritual retreats and immersion trips our students attend.
