There are many reasons I am thankful that my children attend BMS. The class sizes are small providing individualized attention to the students. The teachers are committed to their work and their faith. My kids love all of the extracurricular opportunities as well. We are blessed to be able to have our children at Belleville Mennonite School!

My experience with BMS is twofold, I am a graduate and have sent my children to the school as well. My experience as a student was positive and I can look back and say I`m grateful that my parents made the sacrifice to send me to private school. As a parent, I`m happy to send my children, knowing that they are getting the best education in our area. Small class sizes enable my child to be cared for in any way they specifically need. My interactions with the teachers has always been positive and comforting. I know that my children are being nurtured and taught intellectually and spiritually. My children were in public school in our area as well. I always felt like their schooling centered around them scoring well on the standardized testing, instead of preparing them for their future academically. I`m so thankful for the Christ centered teaching at BMS!

We chose to send our son Landen to BMS because of the Christ-like community and the education that is rooted in bibicalprinciples.

Founded in 1945, Belleville Mennonite School today is a very complete evangelical Christian school. Its strength is its people. The faculty practice biblical integration as the Bible speaks into each subject area. The teachers set the example as they nurture and mentor students towards knowing Christ and making Him known. The students more often are "thermostats" who lead and set the learning culture rather than being "thermometers" who simply reflect the tone and attitude of the day. This is one great launch pad empowering students to serve God with integrity, competence, and passion.

Endorse Belleville Mennonite School. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
With so much uncertainty in the world today and a pandemic further confounding our lives, it's reasonable for parents to want to protect their children whenever and wherever possible? But overprotecting or bubble-wrapping? Well, that's another matter.
You want your child to receive plenty of individual attention. That's one of the reasons most parents send their children to private school.
