Bullis is amazing! I am so impressed with the curriculum. Teachers challenge students academically, yet they incorporate a joyful hands-on learning experience. The enriching opportunities are endless in academics, arts, athletics, and service, which provides a well-rounded education and cultivates respect for others, confidence, and the joy of discovery. Faculty, students, and parents are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I grew up in the DC area and assumed a different experience. However, the modern-day folklore that lingers — nothing could be further from the truth! Everyone I've met is genuinely kind, caring, and helpful. I am thrilled to be a part of the Bullis community.

My son, of color, has had an excellent experience at Bullis overall. He has been there since middle school. He is an athlete on a competitive team. Bullis has lived up to the promise of "balance". Balancing school and sports are synonymous with balancing work and family as adults. It's tough! If you have a son, that is an athlete, choose wisely. Be sure that your child is getting what he needs. What people think of your child rubs off on them, so keep communication open and don't stay somewhere because it's "shiny". Mental health and how your child views himself follow them long after formal education. Bullis has a caring and hard-working administration. The new head of school communicates well and has ensured a safe environment during COVID-19 with weekly testing. Students take advantage of hybrid learning. Athletes participating in certain sports, however, must remain remote to maintain campus safety. We are going elsewhere, but we will miss Bullis's community and our friends.

Bullis is a nurturing place to bring your kids to. The excellence of the faculty is reflected in their knowledge of pedagogy and child development, the creative way they present and teach their curriculum, and their level of commitment to their students. Students are always first, teachers are warm and wonderful people who care deeply about their students and their healthy development. Under their expert guidance, my shy 6th grader became a confident young lady who advocates for herself and is in the debate club! I cannot thank them enough for their hard work, high spirits, and sacrifice to make sure they were ready to open the school and continue teaching in whatever model they need: remote, in person and hybrid. Having a son in another school during COVID made me more appreciative of Bullis teachers. They are the best!
