The best part of my experience at Bellarmine is how inclusive and welcoming the community is. There are various clubs representing a variety of different cultures to make you feel represented. The worst part of Bellarmine is how expensive the average food is. What I would like to change is the food selection and the cost of the food.

Teachers are dedicated to helping their students achieve their goals. School campus safety has upgraded since beginning of freshman year, but does not always use student feedback to their benefits. Great academics for preparation of college and readiness.

Great school. It's a great community, and it wasn't hard to find friends here. Everyone is friendly to each other. Just stay away from popular kids.

Not worth the $18k. The administrators were not working to get our kids back to school although all other private schools in the area found a way to make it work. They are extremely arrogant in their beliefs that this is a stellar education. Even when they reduced hours and curriculum and kept the c...

Bellarmine Prep has been a great fit for our two teenage boys. As a military family we move quite a bit and Bellarmine was very welcoming to our family. As a parent, I have always found it easy to get in touch with teachers and the administration and they are prompt with responses. The school has a...
