How it works
What is the House System?
The ISS Houses is a house system designed to build community and encourage teamwork. Students are divided into “houses,” which include members from various grade levels of tge IB Framework to foster mentorship and collaboration.
Houses participate in athletic and creative competitions, earning points through their achievements and engagement. Every member of the school community belongs to a house, enhancing the sense of belonging and camaraderie. This structure promotes a healthy, friendly rivalry, deepening connections among students.
Leadership opportunities for House Prefects further develop responsibility and teamwork skills. The year typically culminates in a celebration for the winning house, recognising their collective efforts.
