Bellarmine College Preparatory

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam • For the Greater Glory of God

Welcome to Bellarmine College Preparatory!

Congratulations on your son’s acceptance. We are looking forward to partnering with you in the education of your son.

The 470-year-old Jesuit educational tradition seeks to educate young people’s minds, hearts, spirits, bodies, and imaginations according to the values of the Gospel. We take the responsibility of our mission and our partnership with you seriously, and we are grateful for your confidence in us.

Your son and you now become part of the 172-year-old tradition that is Bellarmine. Throughout that long history, Bellarmine has a proud tradition of helping to form some of the leaders of tomorrow — doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers, public servants — people who are committed to making their communities and our world a better place. We help form leaders like Nate Escalada ’23, pictured with me to the left after this Fall’s State Championship football game. Nate is a leader not just because he’s the quarterback of the football team or the ASB President, but because he leads with humility, kindness and generosity, and consistently seeks to support all of his fellow Bells. He’s a great model of a man for and with others. The hallmarks of a Bellarmine education continue to shine through as we seek to foster a faith that does justice. Whatever the circumstances, we place an emphasis on a key aspect of Jesuit education: cura personalis — care for the individual.

At their February meeting, Bellarmine’s Board of Trustees set the tuition for the 2023-24 academic year at $27,110. Over the past decade, annual tuition increases have ranged from 3.5%−8.9%. This year’s increase marks a 8.9% adjustment. While we do not know what tuition will be in future years, we can tell you that it will be higher due to local inflation and our commitment to fairly compensating our outstanding faculty and staff. We never want to lose a student due to finances, so if these increases in the future will put tuition out of your reach, you will have the opportunity to apply for our tuition assistance program each year.

If you have applied for tuition assistance this year, a letter has been sent to your home with the status of your application. To secure your son’s place in the freshman class for the 2023-24 academic year, please pay your deposit through the online enrollment system by March 29th. To access the enrollment system, visit bcp.org/bell2027.

It is a pleasure to welcome you and your son to the Bellarmine family. We certainly want to make him feel at ease with the knowledge that he will find our Jesuit education a life-changing one with faculty and staff who are excited to be part of his life and who will guide him in a nurturing, supportive, and effective manner, accompanied by other students who will become his lifelong friends.

I look forward to getting to know you in the coming years. Thank you for saying “yes” to Bellarmine and, as always, Go Bells!

Sincerely,

Chris Meyercord ‘88 President

Welcome from the Associated Student Body

Joshua Darlucio ’23, Chandler Aldana-Taylor ’23, and Nate Escalada ’23

We are honored to be among the first to congratulate you on your acceptance to the Class of 2027 and, more importantly, welcome you to the Bellarmine community! Your determination and dedication have paid off and you are about to enter a fouryear journey that will be among the most remarkable years of your life. At Bellarmine, you enter a campus that is filled with passion, joy, pride, and dedication, but most importantly, support. This is a community that is here to help you every step of the way through your next phase in life. Moreover, you will find that the Jesuit tradition is as much dedicated to shaping each student’s heart as it is to forming young minds. These principles of justice; cura personalis, care for the whole person; and the magis, doing more for others than they have done for us; will set the foundation for your success and call you to embrace what it means to be “men and women for and with others.”

When you take your first steps onto campus, you will begin to uncover the important meaning that the words hold in our lives as Bells. Every day, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing our Godgiven talents and discovering new ways in which we can, in the words of St. Ignatius, “Go forth and set the world on fire.” As a Bellarmine community, we come together to form a brotherhood driven to execute this mission through acts of compassion and kindness towards our peers, friends, and community. You will be able to understand the underlying issues within our society and build upon that knowledge every day within your classes to discover what it means to be a person for and with others.

Four years ago, when we entered the Bellarmine community and heard this philosophy for the first time, we each had our own paths that we were discovering. Over time, our journeys became intertwined because of our passions and visions of the impact we want to leave on this campus. As you embark on your brand-new journey, you too will have a new path to discover. Along the way, you will forge lifelong friendships, discover your own passions, and engage in tangible actions to help make the world a better place. From trying out for the baseball team, to joining robotics, to joining a brand-new club, to serving your community, there are multiple ways that you can involve yourself and use your talents to enrich our community. Each new opportunity you provide yourself with will help you find your passion and motivate you to succeed. Some of the chances you take may lead you to failure, but those failures will be opportunities for growth and help you to discover who you are as a person. Know that you will have the full support of your Bellarmine brothers, as we know you will have for them. So, take chances and be open to growth, that is the most exciting part of the Bellarmine experience. Class of 2027, we are proud to call you fellow brothers and members of the Bellarmine community. We cannot wait to see what you accomplish and how you will grow during — and beyond — your time here.

Go Bells!

Joshua, Chandler, and Nate

Scheduling Philosophy

Bellarmine College Preparatory is devoted to living out our Jesuit mission to provide a quality formative education that is both caring and challenging, which is a defining hallmark of our school. As such, Bellarmine maintains a philosophy and practice in our scheduling process that best serves our students in their whole being.

As experienced educators, counselors, and administrators, we understand adolescents and how to support them in their aspirations to develop leadership, engage in co-curricular activities, and excel in the classroom, all while caring for their social and spiritual growth. Thus, our scheduling practice is rooted with great intention, beginning upon admittance, and continuing with our annual counseling presentations in upcoming years. All of this is to ensure appropriate course placement for the student, which satisfies Bellarmine’s graduation requirements and will prepare them for post-secondary choices. Scheduling courses so students can fully utilize their God-given talents and whole-heartedly participate in our rich academic environment and co-curricular offerings is key to our mission.

For incoming 9th graders, most of the courses are pre-determined. Only during their 9th grade year students are required to take seven (7) courses each semester. Below is a break-down of year-long and semester courses students will take as first-year students.

All students take the following year-long courses:

Hebrew Scripture/Christian Scripture

English (students interested in taking English Honors are required to take the placement exam –course enrollment is limited)

Modern and Classical Languages (preference noted by student)

Math (based on placement)

Physics 9

All students take the following semester courses alternating between Fall and Spring semesters:

Ethnic Studies

CURA

Free Period

Visual/Performing Arts (preference noted by student)

Elective (preference noted by student)

Free Period*

*If a student chooses a music pathway for Visual/Performing Arts, there will be one semester with no free period.

At Bellarmine, all of our classes are considered college-preparatory, which are rigorous and fast-paced, preparing students appropriately for the next level at school and beyond. Bellarmine has maintained a thoughtful scaffold approach for courses and we hold steadfast in our recommendation that no student should take more than three AP/Honors courses per semester. Below is our scaffold approach and the maximum AP/Honors courses any student can take during each year in school.

Freshman Year Maximum of two (2) Honors courses, based upon placement exam results (no AP courses)

Sophomore Year Maximum of three (3) AP/Honors courses. Must complete Visual/Performing Arts requirement of two sequential semesters before Computer Science

Junior Year Maximum of four (4) AP/honors courses; student must have a free period each semester

Senior Year Maximum of four (4) AP/Honors courses

Bellarmine is grateful for our families partnership. We appreciate you understanding and upholding our scheduling philosophy.

7 Steps to Enrolling

You can now enroll as a student at Bellarmine!

Let the following pages help you navigate the process.

Bellarmine uses an online enrollment and a 3rd party tuition management systems. The $1,650 nonrefundable deposit (which is part of the $27,110 tuition fee) is due Wednesday, March 29th, and must be paid using the process outlined below to secure a place in the freshman class.

As part of Bellarmine’s 1:1 program, the school will issue a tablet device to each freshman in early June. While the cost of the device is included in the cost of tuition, there is an annual fee of $85 for the tablet insurance program. This fee is due with the first tuition payment.

Go to bcp.org/bell2027, click on the “Enroll” button and use your Ravenna account information to log in.

Update your contact information and choose your student’s email address.

Acknowledge the Tuition Management Terms & Conditions.

Pay your deposit with a Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or AMEX. No credit card fees will apply.

Enroll with Blackbaud Tuition Management (BTM), our tuition management system, and select your payment option. (If you have a current Bellarmine student, you will bypass this step and your incoming freshman will automatically be added to your pre-existing account.)

Select the number of payments that works best (1, 2, or 11)

Select payment dates:

1 Payment: due July 5th

2 Payments: due July 5th and November 5th*

11 Payments: due the 5th or 20th of each month, June through April*

Select a payment option (personal or cashier check, money order, ACH from checking/savings account, debit or credit card**)

*A one time $45 fee is assessed by Tuition Management when opting for 2 or 11 payments.

** Please note Tuition Management assesses an additional 2.98% fee for using a debit or credit card.

Please note no student is officially enrolled until steps 3-5 are fully completed.

Submit course preferences through the Enrollment System, beginning on March 17th. This process also registers students for any exam(s) they will take. We test every student for proper placement in mathematics via ALEKS, an online exam. We also offer placement exams for students interested in advanced English or Modern & Classical Languages courses. You must submit your course preferences by 11:59 p.m. on March 29th.

At the conclusion of your course selection, schedule your virtual “Welcome to Bellarmine” meeting for either May 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th or by visiting your Class of 2027 website. Registration is available Friday, March 17th –Wednesday, April 5th. At your Welcome Meeting you will receive your courses based on your enrollment preferences and placement testing.

Important Questions

How many courses do I need per semester?

Every student will be scheduled with seven classes plus a free period (unless you select a music course which will replace the free period in one of the semesters).

How many honors/AP courses can I take as a 9th grader?

We follow a scaffolding learning model, where students have the ability to take one more AP or honors course every year. As incoming freshmen, students are allowed, based on eligibility determined through placement exams, to take up to two honors courses.

Do I have to take Cura, Ethnic Studies, Physics, and an Elective?

Yes, all freshmen take Physics 9 and one semester of Cura, Ethnic Studies, and an Elective.

What is the Cura Personalis Period?

Jesuit education springs from the fundamental Ignatian value of Cura Personalis, a Latin phrase which means “care for the individual.” To that end, the Cura Personalis period provides flexible opportunities for students to pursue personal growth and overall wellness according to their individual needs, usually in areas outside the formal academic environment. All freshman enroll in a Cura class which supports them in their transition to Bellarmine and provides them with tools for their spiritual, academic, social, and personal growth.

What are the course placement procedures?

Placement can occur in the following subjects (no preparation required); please review the department pages for more information:

English Mathematics

Modern & Clasical Languages

Percussion

Rhetoric (Elective)

Do courses taken outside our current school count toward placement exams?

No. Bellarmine determines placement based solely on the results of the placement assessments.

How many times can I take the ALEKS assessment?

You can take the ALEKS assessment up to three times for each level assessment; we will take the highest score out of the three. Please visit the Class of 2027 website for more detailed information regarding testing and assessments.

Can I accelerate in the summer?

Bellarmine does not allow for summer acceleration for any courses during your tenure at the school.

What is the Visual/Performing Arts requirement?

All freshmen will take one semester of Visual or Perfoming Arts unless a student takes Chamber Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble or Symphonic Band, in which case they are required to take two semesters. If you select music, you will only have a free period one semester. See page 9 for more information.

Is P.E. a requirement for freshmen?

P.E. is an elective course freshmen can choose; it is not required.

Can I take American Sign Language (ASL)?

Enrollment in ASL is very limited. Students who select ASL may be assigned to their other prefered language. Students will be informed of their Modern or Classical language and level placement when they receive their schedules during the Welcome Meeting.

Students will master the basics of effective delivery, argumentation, research, and persuasion. No prior public speaking or debate experience is necessary; the course is designed to teach students the basics and give ample opportunities within class for students to practice. In addition, the course will provide a great introduction to the co-curricular activity of Speech and Debate for those students who wish to pursue it on a competitive level. Important note: freshman year is the only opportunity for students to take Rhetoric, so if you are at all interested in the course, it is strongly encouraged that you apply!

Please select Rhetoric as one of your elective preferences through the Enrollment System. As there is an application requirement for Rhetoric, we will provide information to those interested via parent email on Tuesday, April 4, 2023.
