Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy Regarding Students:
Bellarmine Preparatory School admits students of any race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, tuition assistance, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
This call to embrace diversity is an inherent element of the key documents which define the school. The Profile of a Graduate at Graduation outlines characteristics the school seeks to engender in its students. The Profile calls for students to grow in “intellectual competence.” They will therefore be exposed to curriculum and experiences which will help them grow in “awareness of local and global social problems and their public policy implications and moral ambiguities.” If it is to graduate students “committed to doing justice,” as the Profile calls for, Bellarmine itself must model inclusion by providing greater access to underrepresented ethnic, racial and economic groups. These characteristics, outlined by the Jesuit Schools Network and held in common by Jesuit schools across the country, are essential to our Ignatian heritage. These characteristics are open to growth, intellectually competent, spiritually alive, loving and committed to justice.
