Lower School Weekly Schedule
Bullis operates on a trimester system: the first trimester ends at Thanksgiving, the second ends in early March and the third at the end of the school year in early June.
Lower School students have fourteen classes each week in all grades with elementary educators beyond homeroom. These experts in math, science, art, music, dance, physical education, library, design and movement work with Lower School students and forge relationships that last throughout their time at Bullis.
