All students and Staff are divided up into four Houses. Siblings are kept together, although cousins may be placed in different Houses.

In MS and HS, each Thursday Advisory class is dedicated to student-led House competitions.

In Elementary school, a House point system has been placed in each classroom. Students can gain House points for demonstrating traits of the Learner Profile, positive behaviour or/and academic achievements. House points are collected bi-weekly and announced in the ES assembly.
