House System

Building Identity, Spirit, and Belonging

At The Somaiya School, the House System is an integral part of school life, designed to foster a strong sense of identity, teamwork, and healthy competition. Every student is assigned to one of five houses, with efforts made to ensure an equal distribution of students across all houses.

The houses are named after iconic wildlife species and inspired by India’s national parks, reflecting our deep respect for nature and diversity:

GIR LIONS

HEMIS SNOW LEOPARD
