For more than 170 years, Belen Jesuit Preparatory School has formed young men in the tradition of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Rooted in faith, excellence, and service, we prepare boys in grades 6–12 to grow as leaders, scholars, athletes, and—above all—“men for others.”
With over 8,000 alumni around the world, our community is living proof of the lifelong impact of a Belen education. Now is the perfect time to explore what it means to become part of the Belen family and join generations of Wolverines who are making a difference.

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's 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 is situated on a 34-acre site in western Dade County, just minutes away from downtown Miami.
