Upon entering the school, students are placed in a House team. Friendly, competitive activities are set up each week for the House teams to earn points. A champion House team is announced at the end of each school year.
The House teams are named after the four guardians protecting the city of Kyoto (stemming from the Heian-Kyo days): the Black Turtles (north), the Red Phoenix (south), the Blue Dragons (east), and the White Tigers (west).
