Bellarmine College Preparatory Reviews
Rating 4.56 out of 5 217 reviews
I have enjoyed my experience here at Bellarmine, it has taught me to be an active learner and has definitely prepared me for College. There are so many activities to get involved in and they do a great job of trying to make sure everyone feels included and represented. Just like any school or institution you will get out what you put in so step out of your comfort zone and try new things to hopefully discover your passion. Go Bells!
Bellarmine is definetly a great college prep school. The classes are challenging but the teachers are great and most of them will always support you and help you be your best self. There are lots of clubs and it is pretty easy to find your people.
But it is a Jesuit school and can be strict and boring. The administration has also gotten worse every year, making uneccessary schedule and rule changes all the time. It seems like the administration is creating a divide between students/teachers and themselves. Many of the teachers often complain about the way the school is ran. It seems like the students fight against the administration together due to the brotherhood and community that the school makes. But the administration does not listen to parents, teachers, or students and kind of just do whatever they feel like doing.
Overall, Bellarmine will help you prepare for college and make amazing friends, but it feels like the administration is trying to ruin your highschool experience.

Bellarmine College Preparatory is a great college prep school. Most teachers and curriculums are great. High expectation of performance and most classes are challenging, so all students who plan to attend BCP, better prepare for hard work. There are much less selections for AP courses compare to other high school, so I feel like both challenging courses and less AP course make a chance of getting high GPA lower than other schools. That was one of disappointment to parents of senior. Anyway, Our son learned a lot there, got a good study habit, and made great friends. I believe he is ready for college.
