Belleville Mennonite School is licensed by the Pennsylavania State Department and offers
Bible based instruction from preschool through grade 12. We currently serve families from
Mifflin, Juniata and Huntingdon counties. Through a combination of quality resources,
teachers and parent involvement our students routinely far surpass national averages in
standardized testing. Transportation is provided for students in kindergarten through 12th
grade in Mifflin and portions of Huntingdon county and our cafeteria serves full meals every
day.
We routinely evaluate and update our materials. In the past few years B.M.S. has spent
thousands of dollars on a new reading, math, science materials and to provide classroom
access to modern technology both for the teachers and the students. We provide a modern,
monitored computer lab with internet access and strive to teach the skills our children need
to compete in today's world including the time honored teachings of the Scriptures.
Study of the Bible is part of every grade level at Belleville Mennonite School. Students also
participate in a routine schedule of Chapel programs that are design to instruct, motivate
and praise our Lord.
Belleville Mennonite School also provides extra-curricular activities for those students who
wish to do more. Our school is a member of the PIAA and fields teams in girls field hockey,
boys soccer, and both boys and girls basketball. For the students who have an interest in
performing, the high school also presents an annual musical for the community. Other
activities our students have been a part of include, regional spelling bee competitions,
speech meets, and educational field trips.
In keeping with the founding heritage of our school we also require students at various times
during their enrollment at B.M.S. to serve others. Our high school conducts an annual
service day in which they go out into the community and work for other people or
organizations, our younger students often take part in programs to visit and interact with the
elderly. We have often visited nursing homes and senior daycare centers to provide
activities or programs for their clients.
In summary we at Belleville Mennonite School seek to work in conjunction with the parents
and church to provide a "total" education for the young people who attend our school.
Academics are certainly one priority but it is our belief that they do not fully prepare a young
person to lead a full and God honoring life. For more information about or program please
