Be a Bell for a Day!

Shadow Day registration opens on September 5, 2023

Bellarman

The Shadow Program welcomes 8th grade students who wish to explore Bellarmine for high school. You can be Bell for a day by following a current Bellarmine student (freshman or upperclassman) to their classes. A shadow day visit runs from 8:15AM-12:50PM and will give visiting students a great look into Bellarmine’s unique community, spirited students, and engaging classes.

Before registration opens, all families are required to open a Ravenna account in order to sign up for a shadow event.
