Construction Update
After months of construction on campus, the fruits of that labor are beginning to take shape.
The foundation has been laid and the exterior walls for the Dining Hall are nearly complete. The ceiling joists will be delivered and installed before the new year.
The Gian Zumpano Aquatic Center is also taking shape, with the concrete footing and pool slab completed. The forms for the retaining walls and foundation for the pool house are in progress and should be completed within the next week.
Both major projects will be completed this summer. If you would like to contribute to these campus improvements, please contact Phil Fernandez ’94 at ffernandez@belenjesuit.org or call him at 305-804-7683.

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.
