Bellesini Academy

Bellesini is an independent, tuition-free Catholic middle school dedicated to providing quality scholarship education to young men and women of all faiths from limited financial means living in Lawrence. The Bellesini philosophy is simple:  education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.  The mission of the school is to provide an academically challenging and highly structured environment that develops the potential for each student to succeed in competitive secondary schools and colleges.  Since it opened its doors in 2002, 100% of Bellesini students have graduated from high school and 97% have gone on to college, with another 3% attending technical schools or serving in the military.
