Open World International School

House System

Four houses, four identities. The same spirit of teamwork, mutual support, and commitment that shapes the entire school year.

The four OWIS houses: Garima, Ushingi, Sapientia, Agapè

At the start of the school year, students are assigned to houses named Garima, Ushingi, Sapientia, or Agapè. Each house has its own identity, and its members strive to embody their house’s characteristics.

The houses—true “families” made up of students from all grades—are a dynamic tool that fosters a positive atmosphere within the school: they encourage friendly competition, teamwork, a sense of responsibility, and commitment. Students earn points by contributing to school life—in academics, sports, the arts, community service, behaviour, or overall attitude.
