Bellarmine Prep. has been absolutely the best school I have ever attended. Sadly, I may be moving soon and will not be able to graduate from this wonderful school. I have made so many friends since I came here, and Mr. Bernards is the best math teacher in the area. I will without a doubt miss this school next year.

An absolutely amazing school. the administration is hard to access, but we all know, the teachers are what make a school, and Bellarmine has the cream of the crop. Well worth the money Sincerely A Bellarmine Student

Bellarmine is an excellent quality school for academics, education, and religious faith. This might not seem apparent during your kid's first year or two at Bellarmine (especially the religious aspect), but like any good school, it all comes together in the end. There are several excellent retreats at Bellarmine, most particularly the Junior Encounter, which virtually all the student go by choice, and where I have witnessed some people do a complete 180 on life. Bellarmine is a great schoo and has all the great aspects of high school rolled with religion.

Excellent school. Produces young women and men of the highest caliber. Focusing on the whole person - mind, spirit, and body.

My son was in the class of '98 and I felt at the time, and still do, that the education he received at Bellarmine was excellent. The educational experience included both the basics, but also were strong in languages (Japanese, Italian, Russian, etc.) and sciences (a fine marine biology program) but also went into ethics, community service, music and, of course, a strong sports program for both the boys and the girls. The teachers that I met were all strongly motiviated and interested in the students as individuals as well as students. As one former student stated here, Bellarmine does have its problems and I did not always agree with how things were handled, neither did I have all the facts. Overall, the education my son received at Bellarmine was well worth the money spent. If I had other children, I'd definitely put them through Bellarmine also.

My son graduated in 2002. He attends a highly selective university and is performing very well there. He is well grounded in academics, morals, and partcipates in athletics. He continues community service activities as a college student just like he did as a high school student. Community service and involvement at Bellarmine was the beginning of a life's work not just a ticket to get into this top flight school. Yes, Bellarmine like all schools, has its problems. Bellarmine is not isolated from society. Its faculty and staff are only human, not divine. Mistakes are made, punishment administered, behaviour corrected, and life lessons are taught and learned in the context of the Jesuit philosophy. Overall, Bellarmine prepared my son for life, not just college.

This school has a well rounded class selection. I attended Bellarmine , my dad attended Bellarmine and my kids all attended Bellarmine. After graduating all of us were heads up over all the other students in going to College and getting great positions within todays work force.

I went to Bellarmine and even though I'm not Miss Suzie School Go-Getter, I really did enjoy Bellarmine. The teachers are awesome and are truly concerned for the students. They want to see us succeed and understand the material. The campus is beautiful. The students themselves were always superb because they accepted all kinds of people and even though their were class distinction times, every class knew eachother anyways. Great school!

I am a 17 year-old junior. I am not a fan of school, but this is the best one out there. Great people, teachers and students. I went to annie wright (another good private school in tacoma) then went to a public school. After spending 2 years at a public school I wanted out. So i pushed myself in to Bellarmine and am very happy
