Forming Educators Who Form Leaders – The Bellarmine Difference

At Bellarmine, our teachers are not only experts in their fields — they are mission-driven educators, inspired by our Catholic, Jesuit tradition and deeply committed to the Ignatian way of proceeding. This means they teach with purpose, presence, and a passion for service, always keeping the formation of the whole person — cura personalis — at the center of their work.

Our faculty embody the Jesuit ideal of being contemplatives in action: constantly reflecting on their practice and striving to grow, both spiritually and professionally. Through ongoing professional development, instructional coaching, and collaborative learning, Bellarmine teachers are supported to deepen their craft, sharpen their pedagogy, and adapt to meet the diverse needs of our students.
Rooted in the Ignatian tradition of discernment and reflection, our professional culture encourages thoughtful innovation, compassionate engagement, and academic excellence. This ensures that our classrooms are not only places of rigorous learning, but also spaces where students are invited to become critical thinkers, faith-filled leaders, and people for and with others.

At Bellarmine, teaching is a vocation, and we are proud to invest in educators who are committed to shaping young minds — and hearts — in the Jesuit tradition.
