Bellesini Academy seeks to break the cycle of poverty by:
1. Identifying and admitting students of all faiths who demonstrate academic promise and fall below the poverty line;
2. Providing at-risk inner-city students with the advantages enjoyed by suburban students including:
- challenging academic curriculum taught in small classes by highly qualified teachers,
- a safe and secure school environment,
- after-school activities that help students develop non-academic talents and interests,
- a supervised study environment in which to complete homework, and
- quality summer programs that help maintain academic gains in a fun, camp-like environment;
3. Instilling qualities and values of good citizenship, morality, community service, and civic responsibility;
4. Preparing students for success in academically competitive high schools and colleges;
5. Placing 100% of graduates in private college preparatory high schools on scholarship; and
6. Supporting graduates throughout their high school and college careers in order to ensure their continued success.
