Join one of our many afterschool programs,
master new skills and make friends.
House of Givers
Altruismo traces its origins to the rainforests of the Amazon, where a group of powerful Brazilians were given the name because of its Portuguese meaning: “the Givers.” This special group is known for striking a balance between bold strength and altruistic giving—a team that understands true power comes from helping others.
House of Friendship
Amistad is the House that originates from Mexico—a group of kind yet powerful individuals, known mostly for their unconquered spirit. In the language of their ancestry, the name means friendship. Incoming members are often a mix of extremes—our students can be incredibly intelligent, creative, friendly, and competitive.
House of Courage
Isibindi is a tight-knit group of individuals, akin to a pride of African lions, where family means everything. The House’s symbolic animals, the mute swan and the lion, serve to empower incoming members. The longer students are in the House, the more they begin to display characteristics of strength and bravery. In Zulu, Isibindi means courage.
House of Dreamers
Rêveur is a royal House whose name in French means ‘dreamers’ because members who fill this group are students filled with freedom and wild abandon, recognizing their dreams and letting nothing stand in the way of achieving them. The unicorn, situated at the center of the House’s crest, a powerful creature almost impossible to tame.
