The Bullis World Languages program emphasizes acquisition, teaching toward proficiency, and assessing performance using Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs).

Teachers employ their creativity to form interdisciplinary, cultural, and personal connections by incorporating a variety of media, such as novellas and blogs, in the target language. Bullis students have opportunities to learn Spanish beginning in Lower School and Chinese, French, and Latin beginning in Middle School.
