[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually not helpful at all because it is not truthful. My non-athletic, son is just about to graduate from a very academic college. He thrived at college because of the education he received at Bullis. I suspect the recent posters are laying hate on Bullis as families make school decisions this week. it makes me wonder if it is actually the marketing offices of competitor schools...or the parents they have coopted. Bullis has disrupted the private school market in the last few years, certainly with admissions, the Lower School and of course the college list. The culture is not toxic at all - frankly, the opposite. The focus on Wellness is real - and I know not just because of my son's experience but because I have a daughter there right now.[/quote]

I could have written this. Our child, non-athlete, graduating from a top, highly academic college - and in top percentile. Why? Because our child got the deep fundamentals at Bullis. The study skills, the work ethic, the grit, the teachers who teach to reach out for help when necessary and to advocate for themselves; the supportive community. It's worth more than any big-name high school (and btw - we're not even a Bullis family anymore and all we hear is how crazy it is to get in now).

I can only speak from our family's experience and from what we see through friends. You'll get the academics, without the pressure (those two are not mutually exclusive), and you'll see really positive outcomes for your child.

Good luck with your decision, OP!
