About Pine Hills International School

Pine Hills International School launched in 2018 and has grown to 5 campuses across the Klang Valley: Kuala Lumpur, Subang Jaya, Cheras, Shah Alam and Petaling Jaya. The KL campus at Jalan Puchong, Taman Angkasa enrols 162 students with class sizes of 18 to 25. School hours run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, two hours longer than the typical 3:00 PM finish, with the extended day folding enrichment activities and supervised study into regular school hours.

Two programmes set Pine Hills apart from the broader KL international school market. The Henkan Programme is a 21-day structured initiative named after the Japanese word for transformation, focusing on character building and self-discipline through daily challenges. The LSU (Learning Support Unit) provides specialist care for gifted students and those with learning differences, supported by a dedicated sensory room. These offerings reflect a school that has carved its niche around holistic development rather than pure academic league-table competition.
