COLLEGE COUNSELING
Belen Jesuit is committed to guiding students and families through every stage of the college search and admissions process. Our team of five full-time college counselors and an administrative assistant offers personalized guidance to help students identify colleges that align with their academic goals, spiritual values, and financial realities.
Beginning freshman year, each student is assigned a dedicated college counselor who remains with them through graduation. This enduring relationship builds trust and allows counselors to provide thoughtful, individualized support that adapts as each student grows in purpose and direction. To further support families, Belen offers evening workshops and informational sessions starting in freshman year.
Each year, more than 200 college representatives participate in our college fair, with over 150 visiting campus for small-group sessions. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors also take part in two annual college tours, giving them firsthand exposure to prospective schools and the discernment needed to make informed choices.
WHERE ARE OUR STUDENTS ACCEPTED?
| Families from more than 65 ZIP codes choose Belen Jesuit. Our students come from as far north as Broward County, throughout Northeast Miami-Dade, down to Key Biscayne, and everywhere in between — a true reflection of the wide community that believes in our mission. |
| With 100% of our seniors earning college acceptances year after year, Belen students leave ready to thrive in the next chapter of their education. The Class of 2025 was accepted to more than 120 universities, earned 108 College Board recognitions, and received over 400 scholarship awards totaling more than $22 million—not including Bright Futures. It’s a testament to their hard work, our faculty’s dedication, and a community that believes deeply in their potential. |
| With more than 8,000 Belen alumni, our network spans 44 U.S. states and extends to 20 countries worldwide. The Belen Alumni Association of Jesuit Schools from Cuba and Miami plays a vital role in keeping this community connected, engaged, and rooted in the shared mission that shaped them. |
COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVE CAMPUS VISITS
Belen Jesuit Prep welcomes college representatives to campus in the fall during our high school FLEX. A visit time can be requested here through SCOIR.
Due to limited on-campus space and our students' academic schedules, we will be unable to accommodate all requests. Priority will be given to colleges and universities where three or more of our students have applied within the last five years.
Contact Mrs. Cristina Negrón at cnegron@belenjesuit.org with questions or request another visit time (if it can be accommodated).
