The House system at Shrewsbury International School was set up to enhance the sense of community within the school. It encourages participation in sporting and cultural activities, and promotes leadership and personal development. The House System provides a framework for participation in a variety of in-school activities, competitions and events across the co-curricular programme.

Students are assigned to one of six Houses when they begin school and stay in the same House until they leave. Each house is named after a Nobel Peace Prize winner, reflecting both the school’s international nature and the organisational value of Care and Compassion.

In the classroom environment, and around the school, students can gain house points for displaying positive behaviour, including completing work well, going out of their way to help others and showing initiative.
