Belen Jesuit Preparatory School

An overpriced but «almost worth it for the price» type of all boys high school.

Though it is an all boy school during academic year, it becomes a co-​ed summer camp and has been for the last 30 yrs or so.
Pros: dollar for dollar, it’s the best deal in Miami as far as summer camps go if you divide the payment by the amount of weeks it lasts. Lunch and snacks, 1 hr swimming class daily, lots of fun and sports related activities, field trips plus morning and after care included.
Cons: you have to pay camp in full around spring break time as there are a lot of kids that go to this camp. But with that being said, all the activities and field trips are very well organized. Most of the CITs and Jr Counselors are a little clueless (especially in the office) so if you need to stray from their routine by picking up early or anything, then you see the behind the curtain of organization.
My kids have gone the last 2 summers and are very happy. The staff in general are very accommodating with needs as grouping children goes. They give a lot of flexibility with that. Overall, I am very happy with Belen Summer Camp.

I love this school. It’s a very tough academic school but it’s worth it. My brother is in eighth grade here. He loves it. The first two years were hard on him, but now he is in the honor roll. We live close by so he stays there sometimes does his homework with his friends in the library, plays, and then walks home. It feels like a family. It ends up becoming a second home for the kids. They have clubs for every one, even the family members. They always want the families to be involved. Overall, i would say this is one of the best schools in Miami.
