The house system is a traditional feature of British schools. The students are divided into groups called "houses" and each student is allocated to one house at the moment of enrolment. Houses compete with one another, providing a focus for group loyalty, functioning as a support system between peers and connecting students from different age groups.

We at BSS decided that the closest thing to friendship is magic and named our houses after mythical creatures. We have four of them: House Phoenix, House Kraken, House Centaur, and House Dragon.

Several times a year, usually after completing a topic or at the end of each quarter, the whole school gathers and organises a Houses Competition in three categories: Sports, Art and Brainiac. The students from each house get together with their leader- Lady/Gentleman of the House, reflect on their skills and discuss in which category each student will compete.

As a result, we have a very strong student community; children that support each other, selfless team players ready to give their best for a common cause.
