The House Program

What are Houses?

All students in grades 6-12 are inducted into Capstone Houses. As members of a House, upper school students (6-12) bear the names of great cities and their peoples not for arbitrary reasons but because within the bounds of each city great men and women pursued, acquired, and lived out wisdom and virtue and left a legacy that mankind still benefits from today. Through these great cities, God has by his grace provided intellectual, theological, literary, political, and other treasures that we pull out and admire in our studies, and often unbeknownst to us, which influence and bless us today.

It is our prayer that some day, these very houses and the future cities in which God will place each of our graduates to live and serve long after they graduate from Capstone, will inherit our students' legacy of faith, hope, and love. That future Golden Gryphons, some of whom are in the lower school today, and some of whom will sit in Capstone classrooms 20 years from now, will be blessed by their predecessors' labors and by the wisdom and virtue that today's students will bring to bear upon their House activities and endeavors this year.
