Through these initiatives, we strive to shape well-rounded individuals who stand poised to embrace a world full of opportunities and challenges.
Fostering House Communities
Our student body is divided into four distinct houses named after some of our planet’s iconic rivers: Amazon, Ganges, Nile, and Thames, each represented by a unique color and qualities. This division spans across Primary, Middle, Secondary and Senior Secondary levels, creating a sense of belonging and unity within these vibrant house communities.Empowering Student Leadership
Within each house, student leadership thrives. House wardens meticulously select house captains, vice-captains, and house prefects, providing students with real opportunities for leadership development. This initiative not only nurtures their leadership skills but also encourages a spirit of responsibility and initiative.Cultivating Essential Qualities

Leadership, teamwork, cooperation, mutual understanding, and self-reliance are values that permeate every aspect of our students’ journey, enriching their personal and academic growth.Inter-House Activities and Morning Assemblies

These activities provide opportunities for students to showcase their talents, collaborate with peers and practice the qualities instilled by the house system.
