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:
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
“The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the townlets wither a time and die.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
