Build Teamwork, Respect & Confidence
At Bullis, we kick off the school year with two days of experiential education (ex-ed) to blend new and returning students through teamwork, respect, and adventure.
- Our unique ex-ed experiences unite classes and foster meaningful friendships, setting the stage for a supportive and cohesive school year.
- Each grade enjoys a different adventure, from hiking and biking to ropes courses and service projects, promoting confidence and collaboration.
We believe in learning beyond the classroom, and our ex-ed days teach invaluable life lessons in community, leadership, and perseverance.
Middle School Discovery Days
Week-long trips in the Spring
Bullis Discovery Days transforms traditional learning for Middle School students into extraordinary week-long adventures in the spring that connect directly to the science curriculum in each grade. This break from the usual school routine immerses students in hands-on experiences that go beyond classroom walls, emphasizing collaboration, creativity, and personal growth without the pressure of grades.
Discovery Days encourages students to:
- Learn outside the classroom: Discovery Days offer a unique opportunity to gain knowledge, skills, and values beyond the classroom.
- Boost confidence: Students learn to navigate new surroundings and face challenges confidently.
- Strengthen relationships: Shared experiences in unfamiliar environments enhance bonds among students and teachers.
- Expand worldviews: These trips help students see the world differently and understand their global footprint.
- Cultivate essential skills: Exploration enhances communication, creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability, which are essential skills for success in today's world.
