Mission & History
Current tuition accounts for 75% of Bellarmine's annual operating costs. The largest source of revenue after tuition comes from The Bellarmine Fund, the school's annual giving program.
Each spring, during the registration process, parents of new students with a member of the Development staff to review the cost that is incurred by Bellarmine to educate each student. Parents of returning students make their Parent Cost Support Covenant pledge during registration alongside tuition enrollment.
Each Bellarmine parent is asked to prayerfully consider and pledge the difference between tuition ($11,300) and the cost ($14,500) of his or her child's education. This pledge is called the "Parent Cost Support Covenant" and is part of The Bellarmine Fund.
We call it a covenant because of our conviction that we are a community of people who are each doing what we can to keep this wonderful school effective. Parents do this through their voluntary (and tax-deductible) contributions and their donation of time through volunteering.
It is a support covenant because each family is asked to do what it can for the sake of the whole. Some can contribute very little financially, but many others can give abundantly. It is this mix that makes for the richness of our supportive community.
We avoid setting tuition at the actual cost to educate for two primary reasons: (1) we believe that stewardship is an important component of what we are about, and (2) to help fulfill the Jesuit mission of keeping Bellarmine an educational community that reflects the larger world we are preparing our students to enter.
