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.
Every September, students from 1st to 8th Grade vote for their House captain from among the 8th Grade candidates for the position. During Elementary & Middle School House meetings students propose and work on projects and charity fundraisers, which earn points for their Houses. Students also earn points for participation in school-wide events, 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 12.
Elementary and Middle School students must wear their House-colored polo or T-shirt to school on House Days. Here are the House Days for 2025-2026
