Senior: Over the past four years, I have enjoyed my experience at New Visions Charter Advanced Math and Science IV. I have made very good friends with my fellow students. and a lifelong partnership with some of my teachers and instructors. I reflect with pride on the "healthy"discussions held in various classes, each presenting their opinions and views while respecting the others. Being given the opportunity to assist my instructor, then later being asked to serve as a peer tutor was an opportunity that I took seriously. Then, seeing those seeing those student advance enough to make it on the honor roll is simply awesome. Some of the things that I would like to see changed/different at AMS IV is a more informed and involved college and career team. Information was presented in regards to potential internships, but I was never given the opportunity to participate. Better follow through is needed with job shadowing, volunteering, or internship programs for ALL seniors.... Read 41 reviews

Parent: My daughter is in her first year at Blue School, in the PrePrimary program. Without hesitation we plan to keep her at Blue School another year! Our daughter has grown and blossomed this year at Blue School. Since the beginning of the school year, she has come home and voiced that she loves her new school. Our daughter tends to be shy and reserved. In just one year, we have seen her become confident and outspoken. She sits in front of her class with ease to share her self-portrait or maker station project. Confidence, speaking in front of others, is a skill that is evident in all of children that attend Blue School. I am constantly amazed and impressed by the middle schoolers who facilitate whole school meetings. The student’s vocabulary, confidence, and pose as they elegantly navigate a zoom call full of families is impressive. You can tell students have a sense of pride in what they are learning. I can't wait to see what my daughter’s future at Blue School has in store.... Read 18 reviews

Works Here: 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.... Read 112 reviews
