Orlando Science Charter School East Campus - The OSEC Houses

 

 
OVERVIEW 
At OSEC, our House System is a cornerstone of school culture, designed to build connection, celebrate achievement, and foster a strong sense of belonging for every student.
All students and staff are sorted into one of five distinct Houses, each with its own unique heritage, character traits, and connection to our ORCA core values: ownership, respect, collaboration, acceptance, and service. From the moment students join OSEC, they become part of a smaller “family” within our larger school community.

 

Throughout the year, students earn points for their houses by demonstrating core values, participating in school events, and achieving success both inside and outside the classroom. Houses also take part in friendly competitions, collaborative challenges, and service opportunities that encourage teamwork and school pride. Points are tracked in real time through our behavior management system LiveSchool, allowing families to stay connected to their student’s progress.

 

A key component of the House System is our monthly House Meetings. These gatherings are designed to strengthen community, build leadership, and promote school spirit. During this time, students celebrate accomplishments, participate in team-building activities, collaborate on service projects, and set goals aligned with their house values. House Meetings also create meaningful opportunities for cross-grade connections, helping students build lasting relationships within their house family while supporting social-emotional growth.

 

The House System promotes positive relationships across grade levels, encourages mentorship, and creates opportunities for every student to feel seen, valued, and celebrated. Inspired by longstanding educational traditions and adapted for our unique community, it helps transform our school into a place where every student belongs.

 

No matter which house you’re in, we are all part of one Orca pod.
