Strategic Plan
At Bullis, strategic planning is a deliberate and collaborative process grounded in our mission and centered on nurturing students’ intellectual growth and lifelong love of learning. Informed by hundreds of voices from across the community, it reflects careful consideration of our shared values, strengthens our educational foundation, and guides how we support each student’s development, curiosity, and wellbeing—both today and in the years ahead.
Reflecting on 2021–2026
Over the past five years, Bullis has made meaningful progress in advancing our mission and vision.
Highlights include:
- Providing an Exceptional Student-Centered Experience: Developed and implemented the Portrait of a Graduate, assessed and strengthened curricula, built a new Lower School and completely renovated the Middle School building, and appointed directors of Arts and Athletics.
- Fostering Belonging and Wellness: Appointed a Director of Wellness, established a Community Culture Committee, established a school-wide wellness policy, and enhanced alumni outreach and alumni participation in school life.
- Reaffirming a Model of Excellence: Completed a K-12 curricular review, introduced a new daily rotating schedule, appointed a Director of Learning Support, developed a 3-5 year financial model, grew the endowment, increased faculty salaries, and developed a new faculty evaluation process.
- Clarifying Bullis’ Identity: Developed concise brand messaging and new visual assets rooted in the school's history, developed metrics for measuring student wellbeing and joyfulness, and determined the right size of the school.
Looking Ahead
We are currently developing our next strategic plan, set to launch in September 2026, that will continue to put students at the center of everything we do, inspiring the next chapter of learning, growth, and community at Bullis.
