This school is academically challenging, but "Men for Others" it is not. The boys in this school are very cruel to new arrivals. They seem to think they are all priviliged and lack respect for both parents and teachers. The culture in this school is either a sign of the times or a massive failure in "Christian Values" education.
It's not a school only, it's a community where these kids become "Men for Others" and all their accomplishments are to benefit the society that they live in. Expect for your boy to become a man with great knowledge, deep faith and eagerness to succeed in life.
Belen Jesuit teach in the tradition of the Jesuit order emphasizing academics and being "Men for others". They teach the kids on being involved more with society and the culture to make it a better world in our society. . Organizing mission trips to Dominican Republic, helping is causes such as Autism Walk, if only but a few of many example that involves the kids in charitable activities.
My son has been since 6th grade in Belen. I do not have to worry for bad influences, all his friends are focus in their future careers.
This school is overrated. Only good for those that are brains and athletes. Your normal average student will fail here. Faculty plays favoritism with athletes, they can wear long hair, etc.
This school is rated in the Top 50 nationwide. Founded 1854 in Cuba by order of the Queen of Spain and the Society of Jesus. Turns boys into men of Catholic character.
The tuition for comparable schools is almost double Belen's.
This school is great in every way. They turn boys to men in just a year. It challenges men above their standers to be even more excellent. Great in sports and activity's and even my kids love the school.
Excellent, caring enviroment; creating 'Men for Others'
The bond that is developed between the student's at Belen is incredible! It is a true botherhood and a healthy one at that. I believe this surpasses even the great academics, especially with the current societal fear.... worrying who your kids may choose for friends.
