What is the House System?

The house system is an idea adopted from Ron Clark Academy to give students the opportunity to connect with students across classes that they may not normally have a chance to interact with. This helps students gain more friendships and create a family-like culture in second grade.

The house system creates:

Unity

A change of culture

Provides opportunities for students to connect across classes

Promotes core character traits

A sense of pride

Leadership opportunities

What is a House Family?

A house family is a small group of students assigned within Houses. Students are assigned to a house where the certain teachers are assigned as their "house parents". House families generally consist of 15-25 students which meet monthly.
