House System

House System

Junior High

The Junior High House System will give students an opportunity to build community, leadership, and positivity among our students. Our six houses represent our Logos Prep core values: Oikos (Family), Koinonia (Community), Mathetes (Discipleship), Fides (Faith), Integritas (Integrity), and Arete (Excellence). The house system is part of our discipleship time and is required for each student.

Each month, house leaders will attend a training session and every house will meet as a group for team building and discipleship time. Monthly house games will also take place. Teachers and staff will be able to consistently award house points as they witness instances of godly character and success in competition.

Students will be assigned a house upon entering middle school.  There will not be a legacy, so students may not be in the same house as a sibling. Houses will be for the duration of middle school, and are unrelated to the High School House System.  It is our goal to see our students grow in community as they encourage each other toward godly character and feel they are an integral part of the Logos Prep school community and culture.

High School

The High School House System consists of six houses, each of which contains an equal distribution of every Logos Prep high school student. The house names are taken from the Tribes of Israel. These names not only speak to our heritage as followers of Christ, but also to the fact that our school community is one big family.  Each house crest displays items that speak to the desire to prepare students to make an impact for Christ as they fight against the attacks of the evil one.  

In contrast to junior high houses, students in the same family will be placed in the same house. For example, since John Smith is placed in the House of Levi, all of his brothers and sisters are officially future members of the House of Levi. The house system has an on-going competition within the school that builds community, increases leadership opportunities, breaks down cliques, provides every student an instant place of belonging, and is just plain old fun. Since houses are not grade specific, they also serve to increase the interaction between students of different grades. The goal is to create an environment where everyone feels that they belong and contribute to something bigger than themselves.  The house system provides a way to grow smaller as a student community while growing larger as a school.
