Communication is the paramount force that binds people irrespective of race, gender, age, religion, and socio-economic status. Undeniably,

communication is the foundation of every community, the foundation of every society, and the strongest link between and among countries

towards one goal – globalization.

As a premier provider of quality English education, Pines International Academy (PIA) takes pride in its pool of teachers equipped with the

fundamentals of English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching. As educators dedicated to the holistic development of the Asian youth,

PIA teachers teach not only with excellence but with passion to bring out the creativity, intelligence, and efficiency amongst our students.

We ensure that every need of learners is addressed in terms of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains that lead to “superlearning”

among them.

We believe that every learner is a work in progress – waiting to become a masterpiece in the field of language. At PIA, we painstakingly

build foundations of learning until the learners bloom into eloquent speakers and prolific writers ready to conquer the world with their

newly-acquired proficiency in the English language.

Certainly, language programs may be copied. Textbooks may be duplicated. Reputations may be fabricated. But the heart of our service

at PIA can never be imitated. Come to Pines International Academy, study with us and experience our sensible commitment to provide you

quality English education with a heart. This is our advocacy – to help you reach your potentials, to become a better you.

The Philippines has gained its popularity not only for its famous travel spots, but also for being the best place to study English. Since 1990, there has been a constant influx of foreigners especially from Korea and Japan, which makes it possible to develop and stabilize English programs for beginners. Many people who have studied in the Philippines are satisfied with their fast improvement and still choose this country to come back for their further study.

Good studying environment

Meals, room cleaning, and laundry are taken care of by school staff, which helps students concentrate on studying only. Unlike in other countries where foreigners are clustered to study, students who come to the Philippines need not to worry about doing house chores and visa extension.

1 on 1 class least cost but best effective

The best part of studying English in the Philippines is having one on one classes. Compared to other countries which are the U.S, Canada, Australia, U.K and New Zealand, students can avail of intensified and tailored classes in one on one classes with less expense. This type of class helps teachers focus on students’ weaknesses in English and enable students to practice more by boosting students’ confidence.

Camp John Hay

SM Department Store

Camp John HayThis former rest and recreation facility of the U.S. Armed Forces is older than the city itself. For almost the whole of the 20th century it is what made Baguio City in the Philippines "Little America." Camp John Hay's charm remains the same with its pine tree-lined roads, beautiful landscaping, quaint cottages and wide open spaces. The place remains a "must visit" for tourists.

Session RoadSession Road is the main thoroughfare of Baguio City and its commercial center, with a variety of shops, stores and offices lining each side. Session Road is so named because it was the site of the Philippine Commission's first session.

SM Department StoreBeing the biggest mall and the largest building in Baguio City, it houses more stores, entertainment centers as well as shops than any other mall located in the city. The cruise ship-patterned mall is surrounded by towering pine trees and beautiful lush gardens.

Mines ViewThe main attractions in Mines View Park nowadays would be the commercial activities such as the souvenir and silverworks stores by the park. Tourists also have a chance to get dressed in full Cordillera regalia -- bahag, shield and spear for the men, tapis for the ladies, vests and headdresses for both.

Burnham ParkOriginally intended to serve as a much-needed green park, to provide a bustling city with a peaceful environment with wide open green spaces, Burnham Park under Filipino administration is now more of an amusement park with boating, bicycle and skating areas, sports and gaming areas, plus a few eateries.

Mansion House and Wright ParkThe Mansion is the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. Directly across The Mansion is Wright Park that features the much photographed Baguio landmark, the "Pool of Pines".

Baguio CathedralThe majestic church located on top of a hill in the heart of the city, it is one of the more familiar icons and most visited landmarks of the city. Its beautiful rose-colored structure is distinguished from other churches in the Philippines by its twin spires.

PMA(Philippine Military Academy) PMA is full of tradition and pageantry. There are drill exhibitions on weekends, alumni homecoming and celebrations in February and graduation ceremonies at the end of the school year. The manicured grounds are open to the public all year round. Call PMA for a schedule of parades, exhibitions and other events.

Based on the results, the students are placed in their respective campuses in accordance with the score obtained.

Accurate Level Test and PEPT

Apart from the regular ESL curriculum, PIA continues to update and create more practical English classes to meet students’ special needs. As such, a variety of option classes to encourage further learning in a fun-filled and more practical manner were added.
