Thank you for your interest in Bellesini Academy. We are a tuition-free independent Catholic middle school for low-income families residing in Lawrence. We accept students of all faiths and backgrounds. Our school sets high expectations, has rigorous academic standards, and provides an extended day that includes extracurricular activities as well as a supportive evening study program. We also require all students to attend a four-week summer program to prevent summer learning loss and to help students continue to make academic gains during the summer months. All families are asked to participate in our parent partnership program.
In September 2015, Bellesini expanded and opened a Girls’ School. We are a co-institutional school, meaning that boys and girls attend separate classes in separate wings of our building but have opportunities to work together during enrichment programs.
