Signature Programs
Four Signature Programs
Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM)
STEM at Bullis
is more than Science,
Technology, Engineering, and
Math. It’s an approach we use
to answer questions, discover
how things work, and create solutions
to problems. This process begins in
Kindergarten and continues through
Senior year.
Entrepreneurship
Within the Bullis Entrepreneurship Signature Program
students are exposed to the world of Entrepreneurship
and the ideas that drive it. Across all three divisions, student curiosity helps steer the entrepreneurship curriculum. As authentic questions emerge, we
investigate them.
Humanities & Global Studies
Students engage in humanities studies, including social studies, English, art, and world languages — and develop empathy with other communities and cultures. We explore the world through meaningful travel and service, grow as global thinkers, and are inspired to critically examine the world’s challenges and be agents of change.
Visual & Performing Arts
Through theater, dance, visual arts, and music Bullis gives visual and performing arts students the opportunity to learn, grow, experiment, and hone their skills in a setting that supports self-expression, discovery, and reflection through the creative process.
Bullis offers four Signature Programs—STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math); Entrepreneurship; Humanities & Global Studies; and Visual & Performing Arts.
In each, Bullis provides opportunities for interdisciplinary study, student choice, experiential education, and research-based or creative capstone experiences.
- Signature Programs begin to weave through the Lower School experience. Student exposure to the programs broadens and expands each year with increasing opportunities for independence, research, and discovery.
- In Middle School, students expand and continue exploration— a freedom unique to Bullis and its Signature Programs.
- Signature Programs continue to build through Upper School. By Sophomore year, a student can choose electives. These classes enable students to prepare the foundation for a Signature Program honors capstone experience, if they so choose.

Senior Capstone
Senior capstone students design and pursue a unique project in close collaboration with a mentor and with the structure and pacing of a year-long class. A capstone allows students to go beyond the curriculum with an intensive, meaningful project of their own design. Seniors present the results of their deep explorations to the community in April at the Signature Program Symposium.
