Housing

Since Bullis is not a boarding school, our international students have the wonderful and unique opportunity of residing with host families. In most cases, host families are current school families with children enrolled at Bullis. This host family program helps our international students to fully immerse themselves in American culture and family life. As a member of the host family household, each international student is included in family meals, outings and other experiences.

English

Our Upper School requires international students to take grade level English as well as an additional English intensive supportive writing class. All other subjects are taken on grade level. We do not offer an ESL program. 

Other Activities

Students are involved in all areas of extra-curriculars including athletics and arts plus many other activities. The goal of our program is exposure, experience and immersion!
