Belen Jesuit Preparatory School

Our students are making the most of Week 2, gaining firsthand experience in a variety of industries and learning what it takes to succeed in today's workplace.

Thank you to our internship partners for helping students explore their interests and discover future career possibilities.

Here’s a quick look at the final days of our Cultural and Linguistic Immersion Program in Sevilla:

Learning to surf on our day trip to Cádiz
Making authentic paella
Touring Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium
A private tour of La Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón, the only Jesuit church in Sevilla
Visiting Las Setas

We head back home with a grateful heart for these wonderful experiences!

Happy National Mascot Day to the one and only Waldo the Wolverine!

Waldo does more than lead the crowd—he brings our brotherhood together and keeps the Belen spirit alive in everything we do.

Shout out to Waldo's friends who have come to campus with their energy, too: Burnie, Sebastian, and Billy the Marlin!

Yesterday, our students in Sevilla explored three incredible pillars of faith, architecture, and tradition: the Cathedral of Sevilla, San Juan de los Franceses (a former Jesuit church and novitiate), and the Basilica of La Macarena. Their visit to these sacred places was a reminder of how beauty, art, and history enrich our faith.

Today, the group in Spain visited Colegio Portaceli, the Jesuit school in Sevilla. It was wonderful to see how our shared Jesuit values and faith connect both schools, and our students enjoyed the opportunity to interact with one another. A huge thank you to Padre David and the faculty for their warm welcome. The group then spent the afternoon exploring la Torre del Oro and la Plaza de España, and ended the night watching Spain play in the World Cup. It was another amazing day in Sevilla!

Today, the students on the Cultural and Linguistic Immersion Program did a walking tour through el Barrio de Triana, which was especially meaningful since Sr. Pérez-González grew up in this neighborhood. They then enjoyed spending the afternoon outdoors, playing soccer at el Parque Magallanes and kayaking on the Río Guadalquivir.

We kicked off Week 1 of our Summer Internship Program with an incredible group of partner organizations that have opened their doors to our students! These experiences provide students with the opportunity to explore career interests, develop professional skills, and gain valuable real-world experience. Thank you to our internship hosts for investing in the next generation of leaders and helping our students grow both personally and professionally!

They spent a great day exploring Sevilla! The morning started with churros con chocolate, followed by a visit to the beautiful Real Alcázar, tapas for lunch, and a walk through the streets of Barrio Santa Cruz. They ended the day with Mass at La Capilla del Sagrario de la Catedral de Sevilla.

Spots are still open for our Summer Enrichment Camps! Be sure to reserve your spot to sharpen your skills over the summer to prepare for a great 2026-2027 academic year.
