2018 Workshop Talk | 56:49 | 7-12
Summary
At Westminster Academy, we group our upper school students into four different “houses.” Each house has an equal number of students, with a relatively equal distribution of age and gender. Houses have faculty representatives, and both students and faculty remain part of the same house during their time at WA. The purpose of the house system is to provide a structure that fosters a better school culture by creating more accountability, ownership, and leadership among students and faculty in a way that is intentional and personal.
