The Geneva School House System

Geneva's house system facilitates a healthy student culture and provides leadership opportunities by organizing all of the 9th–12th grade students into one of four houses.

The House System Explained

Students in 9th–12th grade are placed in one of four houses (Alexandria, Florence, Iona, or Whittenburg) upon entering the rhetoric school.

Our house system is rooted in the British tradition and allows the school to create a sense of community, belonging, and mentorship by dividing the students into smaller, vertically aligned groups across the high school grade levels.  The Geneva house system provides numerous opportunities for students to grow in leadership, communication, and organizational skills.

The Four Houses

The Four Houses

  • A graphic of a lighthouse with waves at the base, a banner reading 'Alexandria,' and the text 'EST 2010' beneath the lighthouse, all on a dark blue background.
  • A circular logo with a red outline and text that reads "Florence, Est. 2016." Inside the circle is a stylized red fleur-de-lis symbol.
  • Logo with a gold cross, a triquetra symbol, and stylized hands, with the word "IOIA" at the top and "LST 2010" at the bottom, set on a green background.
  • A purple and white logo with the words "Wittenberg Est. 2016" above a shield featuring a stylized rose with a heart at its center, containing a cross and rays emanating from the heart.
Children and adults in a gymnasium participating in a game or activity around a wooden table with banners hanging above. One banner reads 'FLORENCE,' another depicts a knight's helmet with the words 'THE KNIGHTS,' and the third banner says 'IONA' with a cross and shield. The scene appears lively with children reaching towards a volleyball, and there is a magician or entertainer with sunglasses and a purple bandana leading the activity.
