Houses
The students are divided into four houses - Ruby (red), Emerald (green), Sapphire (blue) and Topaz (yellow). Competition between the houses takes place in the form of inter-house activities like sports, athletics, and the Youth Festival. Meritorious houses are awarded house points, based upon their social activities throughout the academic year in such social activities like the annual athletic meet and the annual cultural meet (Youth Festival). At end of each year a house cup is awarded to the best House on basis of points earned.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“I like old people when they have aged well. And old houses with an accumulation of sweet honest living in them are good. And the timelessness that only the passing of Time itself can give to objects both inside and outside the spirit is a continuing reassurance.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“The spectacle of misery grew in its crushing volume. There seemed to be no end to the houses full of hunted starved children. Children with dysentery, children with scurvy, children at every stage of starvation.... We learned to know that the barometer of starvation was the number of children deserted in any community.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
