[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child with ADHD, anxiety, and OCD is at Bullis and they have been there since elementary school. It is because of the education and learning support that they received that they will be attending a top 40 school this fall.  My child learned to think critically, work individually and in groups, but most importantly, they had support to help them when they faltered.  What I love about Bullis is that you can be on an Ivy League path and get the challenge you need, or be on a regular path and be supported and encouraged. [/quote]

Bullis does better than most but given the price, they could do better.  This is true for so many overpriced privates iN DC/VA/MD [/quote]

We had a terrible experience at Bullis. I think a difference is if the kid is there from elementary when they give the effort to help support needs and the kids have a basis for how and when to ask for help and the school has helped “train” them from an earlier age.  Starting in 9th the school was not helpful and refused to actually do many of the accommodations in DC’s learning plan that they had agreed to. [/quote]

I’m the poster with the child at Bullis and I think you may be right.  We put him in private early bc we knew he needed the support and when we started there, it was an amazing experience in the lower school.  I have heard it has changed, and if that’s true, that makes me sad bc it used to be such a nurturing place that really gave my child a solid foundation.  They looked forward to going to school everyday. [/quote]
