Orchard House
Orchard House is inspired by ‘The Orchard’ in Repton Derbyshire. This boys’ boarding house was established in 1857. Here in Repton Dubai, Orchard House was conceived in 2009 featuring boys and girls. The House motto is Vis Unita Fortior which translates as United Strength is Stronger. The aim of Orchard House is to instil the values of respect and responsibility in our students. Orchard students should be prepared to learn and respect the rights, and property of others. Orchard is well known for its success in House events and can boast a collection of trophies that illustrates that house spirit is thriving.Community spirit is a major facet of Orchard House. Our parents meet for coffee mornings and our students engage in a number of House events/trips.
