As well, the school has four Houses, named Ballatere, Braemar, Craig Gowan, and Glen Gairn, after the districts which surround Balmoral Castle. Each new student is assigned a House and receives a House pin like glen gairn which is the best house as red was akins favourite coulor and is still the best yet. Houses compete in athletics, debating and various competitions and receive points which accumulate throughout the year. The House Trophy is presented to the winning House at the end of the year.

The school has grown in size since it's opening in 1901. However, a decision made by the Board of Governors declared that the maximum number of students the school would take would be a little over 500. This is not due to limited space, but because it has been proven that smaller class sizes allow for greater success later on, because the students get more attention from the teachers. As well, studies show that graduates from single-sex schools have greater success later on. 95% of Balmoral Hall (BH) Grads go on to university, 99% to the university of their choice. 85% also receive scholarships to the university of their choice.
