This is Our House
A program that Canisius pioneered in Western New York, the CHS House System helps students build even stronger bonds and connections with each other and the faculty.
Once each quarter, the House Games bring on fun and friendly competition in everything from tug-of-war to chess to football.
Based on house systems used around the world for centuries, ours is guided by the Jesuit hallmark of cura personalis – care for the whole person.
Students can earn points for their house through academic achievemen; participation in service, clubs and athletics; and the House Games.
Each house bears the name of a prominent Jesuit and has its own distinctive color and shield.
“Go forth and set the world on fire”
graduates into position to achieve excellence in their personal and professional lives.
