The Houses
KYS has three houses, each named after Malaysia's first three Prime Ministers: Tunku Abdul Rahman, Razak and Tun Hussein Onn. Houses have a Housemaster in charge, while students form the working committee. All three houses have a colour and mascot i.e. Rahman House (blue dragon),Razak House (red phoenix)and Hussein House (silver fox).
The Houses in Kolej Yayasan Saad are run according to the British-style House system under a Housemaster system consisting of Housemasters, House Tutors and Wardens. Student governance of the Houses are vested in the House committee consisting of the House Captain, Deputy House Captains and other committee members. House Captains are coveted posts in the school student governance and all House captains have their names emblazoned on the House roll of honour upon leaving the school.
The House system allows the pastoral care of the students to be more effective as each student have access not only to their House Master or House Mistress but also to their House Tutors. Each House Tutor has only 8 - 12 students assigned to them which allows for a greater amount of personalized contact and assistance in their academics as well as personal development.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“And when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this observance?’ you shall say, ‘It is the passover sacrifice to the LORD, for he passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, when he struck down the Egyptians but spared our houses.’”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 12:26-27.
