The fine arts program also encourages students to share their talent through competition and performance.

SPIRITUAL EMPHASIS: Everyone at Belleview is employed with a common purpose – to provide the best in education while helping students develop and grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As a result, Belleview offers varying opportunities for spiritual growth. Our favorites include:

  • SPIRITUAL LIFE RETREAT: Every secondary student enrolled at Belleview participates in a retreat designed to build relationships with other students and faculty while challenging them to grow deeper with Jesus Christ. The retreat is most definitely a highlight of every student’s memory at Belleview.
  • MINISTRY SERVICE: Students are taught biblical principles daily in the classroom and in weekly chapel services. Throughout the year, students are encouraged to give of themselves toward a ministry or cause that allows them to exhibit the love of Christ to others. Ministry service areas might include serving at the Rescue Mission, organizing the Samaritan’s Purse “Operation Christmas Child” shoebox program, or helping neighbors. Our desire is to see our students put ministry into action. The purpose is to teach all students the value of serving one another and to bless others.
