Shadow Day registration is now open
The Shadow Program welcomes 8th grade students who wish to explore Bellarmine for high school. You can be a Bell for a day by following a current Bellarmine student (freshman or upperclassman) to their classes. A shadow 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 and all events for admissions.
- Complete a profile on Ravenna.
- Select a Shadow Date.
- Complete the Shadow Interest Form after selecting a shadow date.
We look forward to seeing you!

Shadow with a buddy
Plan ahead of time! When selecting the buddy option, BOTH students need to coordinate, register for the same shadow date, and provide the name of your buddy on the shadow form.
