Head of Middle School Search for Bullis School
Educators Collaborative is pleased to assist Bullis School in its search for its next Head of Middle School to begin July 1, 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for a leader who is dedicated to the middle years as part of a larger K-12 college preparatory program. Located in Potomac, MD, Bullis is a diverse, vibrant community purposely aligned by its mission, vision and values.
About the School
Bullis School has a fascinating history, evolving from a one-year program established in 1930 designed to prepare young men for military service exams to an all-boys high school, then a coeducational college preparatory day school, and finally the outstanding K-12 school of 1020 students that it is today, preparing students for college, work, and life. Part of what makes Bullis stand out at every point in its evolution is its ability to transition and incorporate positive change and growth. Over the past two decades, Bullis has developed to become a leading 21st-century school that fully embraces its mission.
The spirit of joyfulness and connection that permeates the Bullis campus inspires students to thrive academically in an environment that offers a demanding curriculum that challenges students to think critically. The school’s Portrait of a Graduate provides a vision for the academic program and prioritizes the development of skills that will empower Bullis students to be joyful lifelong learners, caring global citizens, scholars who embrace challenge, community contributors, and mindful explorers.
Mission, Vision, and Values
MISSION: Bullis School provides a rich intellectual experience that inspires students to be critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and impactful global citizens. Our student-centered community embraces diversity, honors integrity, and fosters belonging. Meaningful opportunities in academics, arts, athletics, and service stimulate individual and collective growth and enhance joy.
VISION: Students thrive in their pursuit of self-discovery, broaden their horizons, and ultimately transform our world.
VALUES: Caring — Challenging — Community
The Middle School Program
Grounded in a sense of caring and community, Middle School students embrace academic challenges and dive deep into academic, artistic, and athletic pursuits that stimulate individual and collective growth. Teachers create the conditions for discovery and increasingly independent students do the rest. Students explore project-based and experiential learning and develop social-emotional and metacognitive skills. Throughout Middle School, students embrace opportunities and master the skills needed for a rigorous Upper School experience.
The Campus
The Bullis campus, with its picturesque 102-acre grounds and comprehensive facilities for learning, arts, discovery, and sports offers a collegiate-like setting. Our holistic approach to education, combined with a nurturing and joyful atmosphere, ensures an exceptional educational experience for our students.
The new Head of Middle School will help the students, staff and faculty move into a renovated, dedicated facility for the middle school during the summer months. Working in partnership with the community, the new head of Middle School will have the opportunity to enhance the Middle School’s sense of place and identity that accompanies a new facility.
