The student body is normally around 500 students between the Junior and Senior Schools and is limited to this level to preserve the school’s family atmosphere. Overall, the number of boys and girls is approximately even, while the ratio of students to staff is roughly 6:1.

Diversity

Elizabeth Moir School has welcomed students from more than 75 different countries on every continent since the school opened. Few people are lucky enough to visit half as many as countries in a lifetime as are represented in our school. Growing up in this multicultural environment means that acceptance of religious and cultural differences comes naturally to our students. They all value the wonderful opportunity they have to learn from their friends about the world and different cultural traditions.

Houses

When a student enters the school, he or she is placed in one of four houses: Armstrong, Columbus, Fleming and Hillary. Throughout the academic year, these houses compete in a number of events, in and outside the classroom, across different age categories. House points are accumulated and, at Founders’ Day, the overall House Champions, from both the Junior and Senior School, are announced.
