I attended a private school from seventh grade to graduation. We had a headmaster and a dress code. Technically, it is an independent, not-for-profit, college preparatory day school. We had sports and extracurricular activities including student government. The school is divided into the Lower School from pre-K to sixth grade and the Upper School from seventh to twelfth grades. Each has its own Principal. We didn't have houses or prefects. What you described sounds more like a boarding school to me. Or Harry Potter's Hogwarts.

LOL on the Hogwarts comment (both of you!!
) My school has two House systems, Boarding Houses (two) and Day Houses (twelve, but eight when I was there). Boarders are members of two houses. Junior school (kindergarten-Grade 6, all day, of course) students have their own system, called "colour bands". Not sure how many exist, since I went to another school for the elementary grades.
