Lower School K-5

Welcome to the Bullis Lower School! In the Lower School, our faculty create engaging learning experiences that tap into the natural curiosity of our younger learners. Children learn best in an environment where they are actively involved in exploring and interacting as they make meaning of the world around them.

We recognize the importance of early learning as a foundation for later success. We focus on developing early literacy and numeracy skills as well as social-emotional learning and build on that success from year to year. We understand that all children have different learning styles and develop at varying rates.

Lower School children are in the process of self-discovery. They do this by developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their world. Our students develop pride, which comes from a variety of accomplishments, a sense of joy in learning that comes from meaningful opportunities, and a growing ability to be responsible for themselves and others. As Lower School children progress through the grades, they develop a strong sense of agency, understand themselves as learners, advocate for themselves, and discover new passions. They build caring relationships with their peers and members of our community.

Bullis Lower School is a warm and inviting place where children’s passions and interests are nurtured, and learning is placed at the heart of all we do.
