Philosophy

At ILG School, we believe that students should not only take ownership of their learning but also play an active role in shaping school life, including its policies, procedures, and community events. Student voice and leadership are essential to fulfilling the ILG School Mission.

Purpose

The House System exists to:

• Foster student leadership
• Provide meaningful pastoral care
  

Strengthen school spirit and a sense of belonging within the ILG School community

Goals

• Cultivate strong school spirit and community

   

• Build stronger relationships across grade levels
