How many total kindergarten spots does Bullis school have for entry by applicants? How many classes/sections? Thx in advance. (Couldn't find it on the website.)

I would also like to know. I think I saw two K classrooms but there were a ton of kids at the visit.

Two classes with 12 kids in each. We aren't applying for this year. Next year when the new building is open they say it will be 16 kids with two teachers in each class. Hope the new building won't increase applications too much and that 32 spots rather than 24 will make it easier to get in.

Thanks for the info.

When will the new building be completed? What grades will it be for?

I'm assuming siblings get preferences/advanced knowledge of admission decisions?

I wonder the same?

At competitive schools, there are only preferences for siblings if all other things between prospective students are equal. Don't know about advanced knowledge.

Beauvoir has a strong sibling preference. I believe that is a top school…

Construction on the new building hasn’t yet begun.

Is it a new lower school? When will it be completed?

Of course, this is common practice at private schools.

Bullis does not provide advance notice to siblings. Construction on campus, which includes a new lower school building along with other projects, is slated to be done in September 2025. There are 24 K spots for next year and will be 32 spots the following year.
