Build Teamwork, Respect & Confidence
At Bullis, we kick off the school year with 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.

Experiential Education Trips | Spring
Bullis Discovery Days bring learning to life through immersive, grade-level experiential education trips each spring. Purposefully connected to the curriculum in each grade, these experiences take students outside of the classroom and into dynamic, real-world settings. Through hands-on exploration, problem-solving, and collaboration, students spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and grow as confident, engaged learners.
Discovery Days invite students to:
-
Explore learning in action
Apply classroom concepts in meaningful, memorable ways outside of the classroom. -
Build confidence and independence
Take on new challenges, navigate unfamiliar environments, and grow as capable, confident learners. -
Connect through shared experiences
