  Most students in Grades 9-12 have the opportunity to take advantage of an international experience if they choose.

• Halifax Grammar Houses

  Students at the Grammar School are grouped into one of four Houses:

  • Acadia
  • Glooscap
  • Privateers
  • Royals

  These Houses are the main focus for how friendly, light-hearted student competition in a wide range of school activities is organized in:

  • academics
  • intramural sports
  • clubs
  • community service

  Many student activities throughout the year are organized by Houses to promote the broadest possible participation in Middle and Senior School and, at various times, from Primary to Grade 12.

  
  All faculty and staff members at Grammar are also aligned with a House and participate in their own spirit-raising activities.
