HOUSES

• Like the cells make the fundamental structure of
  a living body the House system of The Scindia
  School forms the DNA. The twelve Houses follow
  certain common norms yet each manages to
  establish and maintain a very special identity of
  its own. The identity often does not change over
  several generations of students and teachers who
  become part of the House. House in The Scindia
  School is not just a building but an entity with
  a soul of its own.
