Belen Jesuit Preparatory School

Why Choose Belen Jesuit?

Belen Jesuit is a Catholic, private, all-boys, college preparatory school for young men in grades 6 through 12 that develops leaders in a spiritual, Christ-centered atmosphere distinguished by academic success, extracurricular achievement and service to others.

Based on the inspiration of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits over 450 years ago, the goal of a Jesuit education is for each student to realize that they are called to be open to growth, intellectually competent, loving, religious, committed to doing justice, and a Man for Others.

Belen Jesuit students, along with our 8,00 alumni, live by the motto Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam – For the Greater Glory of God. We are aware that it takes a special type of young man to accept the challenge that a Jesuit School education offers. The advanced and college preparatory curricula provide a solid foundation designed to make students think critically and become productive citizens in today's world.

Belen Jesuit Preparatory School was founded in 1854 in Havana, Cuba by Queen Isabel II of Spain.  The task of educating students was assigned to the priests and brothers of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), whose teaching tradition is synonymous with academic excellence and spiritual discipline.  In 1961, the new political regime of Cuba confiscated the School property and expelled the Jesuit faculty.  The School was re-established in Miami the same year, and over the next decade, continued to grow.  Today, Belen Jesuit sits on a 30-acre site in western Dade County, only minutes away from downtown Miami.
