Each student at Abhyasa is assigned a house which he/she represents in all competitions on the school campus. The school is divided into two houses - Shiva (Blue Color) and Shakti (Red Color). The house captains mobilise boys and girls to participate in various Inter-House games and cultural activities. Competitions are conducted throughout the year to train students for Inter-School competitions. Annually, a time table is drawn up for exhibition matches every weekend, while track & field is held between September – October. However, these programmes are planned in consultation with the student leaders. 

There are extracurricular Inter-house competitions in various events such as Dance, Music, Fashion Show, Quiz, Debate, Elocution, Science Projects, Poetry, Dramatics, Antakshri, etc. organised between the Shiva and Shakti Houses at the three competitive levels - Junior, Intermediate and Senior. The students undertake all preparations for the accompanying performances without any inputs from staff members. This imbibes organisational, and management skills in children along with collective responsibility. These competitions are held every Sunday. Points scored by each house is added to the overall tally of the House Points.

Abhyasa means ‘Practice’ and has adopted the motto, “Perfection through Practice.”
