What is a "House"?

A house is like a team or family within the overarching school community.  Each student is assigned to a house when they are enrolled in school, and usually  are assigned to the specific  house throughout their years at South Bay Christian School. 

Purpose

The house system serves several purposes:

• Community & Belonging: Helps students feel part of a smaller, close-knit group.

• Competition: Houses compete against each other in sports, academics, arts, and other activities (e.g., “House Points,” “Sports Day,” “Quiz Competitions”).

• Pastoral Care: Some schools use houses for mentoring, tutoring, and student welfare, with staff called “House Tutors” or a “Head of House.”

• Leadership: Older students may become “House Captains” or “Prefects,” giving them leadership responsibilities.
  
  

House Points

Students earn points for good behavior, academic achievement, sports, etc. At the end of the term or year, the house with the most points might win a trophy or other reward.

About Our Houses

Each House, named after former principals, participate in House activities throughout the school year. House members delight in the competitive games, community service projects and various, fun activities. Each year in the spring, Houses will visit our constituent churches to showcase and share the vision of South Bay Christian School. Look for scheduled House activities and church visits on our school calendar.
