History
Bullis was founded in 1930 by Commander William "Joey" F. Bullis as a preparatory school for the United States Naval Academy. The school moved in 1934 to suburban Silver Spring, Maryland and began its four-year college preparatory program. In the 1960s, the school moved to its current location in Potomac, Maryland, and in 1981 became co-educational.
Today the school offers a 10-year college preparatory program for boys and girls in grades 3-12 with a faculty of 95 educators. The school is governed by an independent board of trustees.
