"Strong like cafecito — small, powerful, and impossible to ignore."— Ms. Annia Bellor-Forte
Welcome to My Corner
Welcome! I'm Ms. Annia Bellor-Forte, Spanish and Leadership teacher at STEM Academy of Hollywood — and I'm so glad you're here. My classroom is a space where language comes alive, where students find their voices, and where we celebrate the richness of culture, community, and connection.
I teach Spanish I, Spanish II Speakers, and Leadership — three very different courses that share the same core belief: every student has something powerful to contribute. I also serve as Senior Advisor, walking alongside our seniors as they navigate one of the most exciting and important chapters of their lives.
Outside the classroom, I bring that same energy to the mat. I am a Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt and instructor — a discipline that has taught me that growth happens when you embrace discomfort, stay humble, and never stop learning. I try to bring that mindset to everything I do, including how I show up for my students every single day.
My door is always open. Come find me in Room 306.

& Instructor
Ms. Bellor-Forte is not just a teacher — she's a Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt and instructor. The same discipline, resilience, and growth mindset she brings to the mat are the exact qualities she cultivates in her students every day. On the mat or in the classroom, she teaches that being small doesn't mean powerless — it means you fight smarter.
