Houses: Caritas, Veritas, Lumen Prudentia
At International Gateway Academy, the entire school is divided into four houses, a bit like teams. In each house there are students from every grade, kindergarten through grade 12. Also, brothers and sisters are in the same house (which makes it easier for parents when they cheer the teams on!). All year the houses compete with each other to have the most points. Points are earned through sports events and tournaments, being on the honor rolls, bulletin board contests, service projects, yellow slips (for doing something
good, and for winning at Sports Day in May. The houses are:
Caritas
Caritas, Latin for brotherly love, is one of the four houses at IGA. The team colors purple and orange.
