Boston International School celebrates four Houses: the Phoenix House, the Dragon House,the Qilin House and the Tianma House.

The House system is a tradition originated in England which has spread around the world. The school population is divided into sub-units called “Houses” and students are allocated to a house when they enroll. Instilling healthy competition among houses, students have the opportunity to compete with one another and earn points for their house, providing opportunities for positive opportunities for the development of skills, talents and knowledge.
