• A Catholic, Jesuit School

  Founded in Cuba in 1854 and reestablished in Miami in 1961 after exile, Belen Jesuit Preparatory School is deeply rooted in the Catholic and Jesuit tradition. As part of the Society of Jesus Caribbean Province—which includes Miami, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and Guyana—Belen remains faithful to its mission of forming young men of faith, service, and leadership.

  
  At Belen, students are called to become men for others. They grow in their relationship with God through Ignatian prayer, spiritual retreats, and the Sacraments. This formation extends beyond the classroom, inspiring students to seek justice for the poor and marginalized. Each year, students volunteer throughout their local communities and some participate in international immersion trips—such as those to the Dominican Republic—where they live and work in solidarity with underserved populations. These transformative experiences help shape compassionate, reflective leaders grounded in faith and committed to serving others.
