Our House Programme

At Rushmore American School, we understand that education goes beyond the curriculum and classrooms. It's about fostering a sense of belonging, instilling values, and nurturing a community where every student feels connected and supported. Our House System divides our student body into smaller, close-knit groups, each with its own unique identity, colors, and symbols. This structure provides students with a sense of community, a support network, and an opportunity to engage in various activities that go beyond the traditional classroom setting.

Each house is given a distinctive name that reflects values, global landmarks, or figures from diverse cultures. Students proudly identify with their house colors and symbols, fostering a strong sense of identity and pride. Student leadership is at the heart of our House System. House Captains and Vice Captains are selected to lead their respective houses, providing guidance, inspiration, and a voice for their peers. The House System encourages healthy competition through a variety of inter-house competitions. Whether it's academics, sports, arts, or community service, students collaborate and compete, earning points for their houses. A comprehensive points system recognizes and celebrates achievements, positive behaviors, sportsmanship, and participation in extracurricular activities. The house with the highest points at the end of the academic year earns the prestigious House Cup. Regular house meetings create opportunities for students to connect, discuss upcoming events, and engage in team-building activities. These meetings foster a supportive and inclusive environment.

The House System creates a sense of belonging, enabling students to form lasting connections with peers across grade levels. Students have the chance to develop leadership skills by taking on roles as House Captains, Vice Captains, and other leadership positions. The House System promotes a positive school culture, reinforcing values such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and academic excellence. By celebrating the uniqueness of each house, our system fosters an appreciation for cultural diversity and individual strengths.
