What the money paid for, in its own words
FY2025 · Form 990, Part III · the three largest programs by expenseBullis charter school (bcs): through an integrated tk-8 model, bcs offers a collaborative, community environment that augments academic excellence with social and emotional growth. The innovative bcs program exemplifies what research has shown: students in tk-8 programs achieve higher academic scores, participate more in extracurricular activities, demonstrate greater leadership skills, and are less likely to be bullied than those following the usual elementary/middle school track. Once students reach the 8th grade, they have the skills necessary to be true community leaders
