Network International School is a British Curriculum International School in Yangon, Myanmar. When formed in 1996 by Carole and U. Kyaing, from England and Myanmar, respectively, it was the very first of its kind in Yangon, established as a response to an increased need for secondary schools within the Yangon area. Though it began as a nursery school, it added primary education in 2002 and as of 2019, admits students through Year 13.[1] The school year typically begins the second week of August and ends mid-June.

## House system

[edit]

Network utilises a house system, in which students are sorted into four different houses with distinct colours upon admission:

* Ruby house (Red)
* Emerald house (Green)
* Sapphire house (Yellow)
* Diamond house (White)

This house system is implemented during Network's in-school academic competitions, sporting events, and its house-points reward system. Siblings attending Network are sorted into corresponding houses. There is a house trophy awarded at the end of the year for each winning house.

## Uniform
