For promoting co-operation and team spirit in sports and other activities, the school is divided into four houses. Each house has a captain and a vice-captain. Members of the staff are assigned to the houses. The houses are named after four Jesuit saints whom the school presents as role models to students. In their lives these saints exemplified competence, conscience, compassion and commitment included in the vision statement of the school.
The Xavier House is named after St. Francis Xavier, who came to India in 1542 as a missionary and whose family coat of arms is depicted partially in the school crest.
Loyola House is named after St. Ignatius of Loyola, the 16th century Spanish nobleman who founded the Society of Jesus and was responsible for sending Xavier to India.
