House System

Four houses. One Altamira community.

Our House System builds loyalty, collaboration and a sense of belonging through healthy competition in sports and academics.

Students are randomly assigned to a house when they enroll. Younger siblings automatically join the same house when they enter the school.

The four houses represent the symbols of our shield: the torch for leadership, the book for knowledge, the family for family participation, and the flags for intercultural education. Teamwork gives students opportunities to discover strengths and talents that might otherwise remain unknown.
