I cringed at the thought of my daughter entering middle school. I toured several different magnet…read moreschools in the area and did my share of research. From the day I visited this school I new this was the place. I'll start by saying that the school is in a great neighborhood. Drop off is pretty organized. Like all schools there's always a long line but it moves quickly. Academically I'm impressed. The curriculum is challenging and keeps the students engaged. During open house I got to meet the teachers. They all seemed so enthusiastic and eager to provide the best education possible. Smart boards and computers are a part of the learning tools. Love that this is a tech savvy school. Several times I have been to the school I have noticed security and staff around. The school appears clean and well kept. There are plenty of magnet strands available for any child with a talent to explore. All of which tap into and broaden your child's interests. Go wizards!

The location is however beautiful and the grounds also. This time my visit took me to the Auditorium to watch the Alhambra Orchestra play a few pieces most notably from Beethoven and Dvorak. A colleague plays French Horn and it was my first time watching him play. The auditorium is spacious with large center aisles; it has two levels and also has ample seating for approximately 300 persons. Alhambra Orchestra is funded through the generous donations of its members and participants. It is not a professional ensemble and all the artists donate their time so that we might enjoy classical music. All of the concerts are free. The next venue is October 29th at the Arsht Center and you can get free tickets online on October 18th. (http://www.arshtcenter.org/mobile/calendar/?srcid=5282&id=5282&epslanguage=en) We were seated in the box seats closest to the Orchestra and which is the best spot to see all of the artists and probably also had the best acoustics. Classical music is definitely not dead. Afterwards, free punch and cookies were served and I spent some time with Alejandro to get his perspective on how he came to be so dedicated to his craft, the French Horn. I learned he practices 1.5 hours a day which on the balance is a lot for an unpaid position. He said he also plays with a professional Orchestra but it does not meet frequently. In contrast, professional positions in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in will earn starting salaries of $140,000 but they also practice 3 hours daily and meet with the Orchestra another 8 hours. It's a full time job. He had tried to audition 12 years earlier but didn't make the cut. His day job is in IT which pays the bills but Alejandro's passion is the French Horn and perhaps one day he will be able to make it. If you have the opportunity to see a concert here I highly recommend it.

I went to this school from 1-5 grade, and honestly I blame a lot of my problems on this school. I'm…read morein 9th grade (going into 10th now), and The Biltmore School left me severely underprepared for regular school life. Yes, the small hands on approach is definitely good for children with disabilities/developmental issues, however if you take a child without these difficulties and then put them into a regular school (public schools) your kids gonna have a lot of problems. The schools probably changed since my time attending, sure, however while I was there, it was even unsafe for kids with issues. An example of this would be with my cousin who also attended at the same time as me, who was autistic and low support needs. He was a victim of bullying, which got the a point where a student broke his arm. As for me, I didn't have these sorts of issues (I have ADHD but that's never effected my learning so I don't count it) and after I left The Biltmore, I was introduced to many different learning tools such as iready, IXL, ect. However, The Biltmore never taught me how to use these programs, and the larger classes of public schools meant that my teachers rarely offered me help with using these programs, leaving me to teach myself which made me struggle at the beginning of my education in public schools. To any parents thinking of sending your children here; DO NOT. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!! As a former student, I'm begging you not to send your kids here, it was genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life.

I am truly sorry, I did not know and now that I know better, I will never use them again. He is stiill thriving here and the supports provided to help him suceed are stronger than ever. Enrolling him here in kindergarten was one of the best decisions I could have ever made. He is included and it's evident in his friends group chat on his phone. They adore him and that makes my heart so happy. It truly is a blessing when you can leave your child at school every day and never have to worry. All of his teachers have been a blessing! My youngest child is in 1st grade and also thriving!

Sadly, our experience changed when my son faced serious bullying. Although we reported the situation, we felt it was not properly addressed, and we did not receive the support we expected from the school. Ultimately, we felt we had no choice but to leave. For that reason, I cannot recommend the school. Our experience made us feel that the values the school promotes were not reflected in the way our family was treated when we needed help the most.

Beautiful architecture, buildings and a massive chapels. Things like school dances, tombola, a student ran media department, and a co-ed summer camp help this all boys Jesuit school expand throughout the whole Miami community. I can say if you ask 10 people from Miami if they know Belen any age would say yes. But back to the question why is Christ the center of this school it's because like our new dean of mission and formation said the goal of Belen is to create men of Christ and that will become saints. And the term saints is somebody who is with god in heaven. But overall if you want your kid to get a great education and grow closer to god chose Belen
