Every student in The École belongs to a House that corresponds with one of the four colors of our school polos and T-shirts—red, white, yellow, or blue. Newly enrolled students are allocated a House color that maintains the student numbers per House even across the entire school while ensuring that siblings belong to the same House.
Each student should have at least one polo and/or T-shirt in their House color to wear for House events. Once children reach Elementary, the House system allows them to build vertical connections and relationships with students in other grades, which reinforces their sense of belonging to a close-knit community.
On Friday, September 18, 8th Grade students who wish to run for House Captain will make speeches in front of their 1st to 8th Grade Housemates. The following week, students from 1st to 8th Grade vote for their House Captain from among the 8th Grade candidates for the position. Students also earn points for participation in school-wide events, fundraisers, competitions, and performances, for representing the school in sporting and other contests, for wearing their formal uniform on Formal Days, and for wearing their House color on House Days. The House Cup is awarded to the House with the most points during the end-of-year assembly on Friday, June 18.
Elementary and Middle School students must wear their House-colored polo or T-shirt to school on weekly House Days. The first day of school, Tuesday, September 8, is a House Day, and in 2026–2027 weekly House Days are on Fridays.
On non-House days, students can wear any color polo/T-shirt they like.
