Mission & History
Sponsorship/Accreditation Approved by State, Jesuits & Archdiocese
March 8, 2010 -- Last year, Bellarmine engaged in an intensive self-study and school visitation toward renewal of its Sponsorship by the Jesuits, review of Catholic identity by the Archdiocese of Seattle and accreditation by the State of Washington. The school has now received confirmation in all three arenas. State accreditation came with completion of the process, Sponsorship by the Jesuits was celebrated at our Affirmation Mass at the beginning of the year, and the Oregon Province has forwarded a letter from the Archdiocese informing us of the ?¢‚Ǩ?ìsuccessful completion of its visitation.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù
The letter was from Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Bishop Joseph Tyson, who said that, ?¢‚Ǩ?ìthe next visitation would take place in conjunction with your next sponsorship process,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù which is scheduled six years from now. Bishop Tyson's letter commended Bellarmine in six areas:
1) Cooperation with the Archdiocese during the sponsorship process
2) Combining the reviews for Sponsorship, Accreditation and Catholic identity into one process
3) The school's willingness to move away from the Day of Silence to a broader program about treating persons with respect
4) The quality of programs teaching social justice
5) Participation in the Archdiocese's Theology of the Body Conference and the initiatives flowing from it
6) The planning, preparation and participation level of the school's liturgies
The Archdiocese has pledged its support and guidance in Bellarmine's continuing efforts to strengthen Catholic Identity and improve programs that foster students' spiritual and catechetical development, so central to its mission.
