The <\/span>scholars of Tallahassee Classical School understand that the educational experience <\/span>that they are offered is a <\/span>unique privilege. <\/span>Therefore, we desire that every scholar fully <\/span>embrace their years of schooling as an Archer. <\/span><\/p>\n

To enhance this experience, we are delighted to introduce the Archer House System <\/span>to <\/span>our seventh through twelfth-grade<\/span> scholars. <\/span>Our House System <\/span>splits the Logic & Rhetoric School (grades 7<\/span>–<\/span>12) into ten Houses. <\/span> The purpose of the Houses is to provide a widely dispersed <\/span>student government, with leadership and ambassadorship opportunities<\/span>. With their Houses, scholars plan and execute school events<\/span>, foster <\/span>mentoring relationships between various grades, and develop unique traditions.  Each <\/span>House is the Latin word for an animal of significance in Roman mythology. <\/span><\/p>\n

Houses compete for points in various events throughout the year and in the Campus <\/span>Ma<\/span>rtius <\/span>(field day) <\/span>at the end of the year. Scholars also earn points for academic and <\/span>character awards throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

When scholars ultimately graduate, they will have had up to seven years of planning and executive <\/span>experience. If and when they choose to attend <\/span>college, they will have the practical <\/span>knowledge of how to begin clubs and associations, which is one of the core features of <\/span>strong citizenship. The House System, then, is an education in civics because of the habits it <\/span>encourages and forms.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
