House

English to Chinese Art/Literary Education / Pedagogy
The Middle & Senior School is divided into eight vertically arranged Houses with students from each year level. Each is a ‘mini school’ of its own, complete with Head (House Dean) and Assistant Teachers, Senior Prefect (Head of House) and Captains (Year 13) of the various activities.

House Deans are responsible for the organisation and management of their House. Responsibilities range from monitoring academic progress to social well-being and for maintaining close links with parents regarding their son’s progress and welfare.

年段

"eight vertically arranged Houses with students from each year level"这里说明得很清楚是按年级高低排列的,不是平行排列的,所以应当和我们的年段概念是一样的。Head 大概就是“段长”,Senior Prefect 大概就是“年段主任”,Captains是来自13年级的学生,可译为“领队”。

disagree Frank Feng : 我觉得这里说的应该是“每个House都有各年龄的学生”,所以才说是VERTICALLY arranged

Reference:

WIKI: Historically, the house system was associated with established public schools in England, especially full boarding schools, where a 'house' referred to a boarding house at the school. In modern times, in both day and boarding schools, the word 'house' may refer only to a grouping of pupils, rather than to a particular building.
House System是英国学校传统的构架,学生们分到各个house成为一个小社会,每个house的学生应该还是住一个楼的,他们与其他house在体育比赛等活动中竞争。
关于翻译我想到了霍格沃茨魔法学校,我认为魔法学校和英国公里学校体制类似的,很有经验的翻译家把学生们分到四个“学院”,读起来一点不违和,概念很清晰。我认为“学院”是最好的选择。
