As an alum, I recently returned for a visit. The new Perino Science Center is state of the art, and the faculty impressive. St. Bede has always been excellent academically, but now with the new science facilities, it can't be beat. Alumni continue to support the Academy, and while the cost is truly quite low for an education of this level, there are lots of scholarships available to make St Bede Academy even more affordable. Go Bruins!
My experience at St. Bede Academy over the last four years will impact me for the rest of my life. St. Bede allowed me to interact with many people of different characters relatable to myself making it easy for someone to fit inside the Bruins Community. Through my St. Bede experience, I had very understanding and accomplished teachers ready to help you through any difficult situation either related to school or a problem affecting you outside in your personal life. My favorite part about going to St. Bede was building all the new, exciting situations with friendly faces especially during St. Bede Spirit Day. Also, I really enjoy that St. Bede allows me to be ready for my college career by both enabling college ready criteria syllabus for their classes and dual-enrollment classes giving you accessibility for college credit while still in high school. The only thing that I wish would change at St. Bede are the circumstances with COVID-19 limiting my Highschool Senior year activities.
I loved the overall atmosphere of Saint Bede. There are many traditions that have been passed through generations of students. Everyone at the Academy is extremely kind, helpful, and overall understanding. All teachers want you to excel throughout high school and college!
