The Bullis School, located in the affluent Potomac area of Maryland, holds an A+ NICHE rating and ranks 167th among 2402 K-12 schools nationwide. The school also offers a variety of extracurricular activities such as competitive sports, student clubs, and performing arts, which helps promote students' holistic development. Previously, in the first week of school each year, the school would take students to the beach for two days to get to know new classmates. I wonder if this tradition still continues.

I have personally visited and inspected Bullis School twice. Located in Potomac, Maryland's wealthiest region, it is one of the best private schools in the United States. It is only 12 miles from the capital, Washington D.C., making it an excellent school in terms of both geographical location and academic level.
School Features:
1. The school offers courses in Entrepreneurship, Humanities and Global Studies (HGS), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and Visual and Performing Arts (VPA).
2. In the first week of school each year, students are taken to the beach for two days to get to know each other and make friends.
3. Bullis School has a strong Global Studies program, offering seven trips to international destinations this academic year, including France, Barcelona, Spain, and more.
4. Bullis Arts Department is one of the strongest in the region, offering students a variety of courses and extracurricular activities in drama, dance, visual arts, and music. The school's jazz music is excellent, and its photography, sculpture, and fashion design are also outstanding.
5. A wide range of sports activities are available, including cross country, which won the 2nd MD Private School Championship.
