Houses

Students from Classes Nursery to XII are divided into five Houses – Aitchison, Nalagarh, Patiala, Ranjit and Tagore. This has been done to give them an identity and develop house and team spirit while taking part in various Inter-house activities. The House system provides pastoral care. Each “House” is looked after by a House Master who in turn is assisted by other staff members, House Captains, and Prefects selected from the senior students of both Wings. This helps to develop qualities of leadership.
