Clean Spaces, Clear Minds: How Pines Academy Keeps Your Study Life Safe and Comfortable

At Pines International Academy, learning goes beyond the classroom. We know that a clean and safe environment plays a huge role in how well you study, sleep, and succeed. That’s why we’re committed to keeping our campus—and your living spaces—fresh, healthy, and worry-free. On July 3, 2025, we took that promise one step further by hosting a special Sanitation and Housekeeping Seminar for our staff, led by expert Dr. Donny C. Calauan, PhD—a trusted voice in pest control and hygiene management. Dr. Calauan teaches at the University of the Cordilleras and the Systems Technology Institute (STI) and runs Hope Pest Control Services. With real-world experience and academic know-how, he trained 18 of our housekeeping staff on how to maintain top-level cleanliness in dormitories, classrooms, and shared spaces. What Our Staff Learned: The safest ways to use cleaning tools and chemicals Daily routines to keep student spaces fresh and germ-free Smart strategies for preventing pests International cleanliness standards that support student health What It Means for You as a Student Whether you're reviewing your notes in your dorm or sharing stories with friends at the cafeteria, you’ll feel the difference. At Pines, your dorm is cleaned twice a week, and school areas are cleaned daily—so you can focus on learning, not worrying about your surroundings. To our incoming students: We care about your well-being as much as your education. To our global partner agents: You can confidently recommend Pines knowing we uphold high cleanliness and safety standards for every learner we welcome. A Safe Place to Learn, A Clean Place to Grow This seminar is just one of the many ways we invest in your overall experience—from academics to daily comfort. After all, a clean space helps you think clearly, breathe easier, and feel more at home. Pines Academy isn’t just a school—it’s your second home. And we work hard to keep it clean, safe, and student-ready every day.

Pines Juniors Weekend Activity| A Day of Adventure, Laughter, and Korean BBQ

PINES Students Dive into Nature and Culture at Pugad Adventure Resort Learning English at PINES isn’t limited to textbooks and classrooms. For our students, every experience is a chance to grow, connect, and create memories. That’s exactly what happened during our recent adventure-filled getaway to Pugad Adventure Resort, nestled in the scenic province of La Union. What’s Pugad? Pugad (short for “Pugo Adventure”) is a popular outdoor resort known for its thrilling water activities, lush greenery, and relaxing natural atmosphere—a perfect escape from the cool mountains of Baguio. With zip lines, hanging bridges, and multiple pools, it offers the right blend of fun and relaxation. Splashing into Fun Upon arrival, students were quick to head for the pools—because what better way to beat the Philippine heat than a refreshing swim? Some dared the water slides, others lounged by the water with friends. The laughter echoed throughout the resort, proving that language barriers fade when you're having fun.  A Korean BBQ Feast Like No OtherAfter hours of adventure, the best reward? A full Korean barbecue dinner! Tables were loaded with sizzling meats, flavorful sauces, and good conversation. For many students, it was a taste of home in a new and exciting setting—and for others, an introduction to Korean food culture through shared bites and bonding. More Than a Trip The Pugad trip wasn’t just about the destination—it was about building friendships, practicing English in real-life settings, and making the most of international student life. For our new students, it was the perfect way to feel welcomed. For everyone else, it was another memory to cherish from their PINES journey. Thinking of Studying English Abroad? At PINES, every day brings opportunities to learn, explore, and live. Whether in class or on the road, we make sure students experience the best of both education and adventure. ? Join us and discover the real meaning of learning beyond borders.

Weekend Tour in Baguio: Pines Junior Students Explore Baguio!

June 21 Highlights | Pines International Academy At Pines International Academy, we believe that language learning becomes truly effective when it connects with real-life experiences. That’s why our weekend activities are designed not just for fun — but to help students use English in authentic situations, connect with local culture, and build friendships outside the classroom. On Saturday, June 21, 2025, our Mongolian junior students enjoyed their first weekend tour around Baguio City. From iconic landmarks to everyday destinations, the trip gave them the opportunity to explore their new environment, apply what they’ve learned in class, and feel more at home in the Philippines. A Meaningful Journey Around the City This guided tour was thoughtfully planned to introduce students to the culture, history, and beauty of Baguio. It also gave them valuable chances to interact, observe, and express themselves in English — whether by asking questions, shopping for items, or simply chatting with their classmates. While our students didn’t share many verbal reactions, their wide smiles, curious eyes, and constant photo-taking made one thing clear: they were enjoying every moment.6 Top Places Visited by Our Students: 1. The Mansion Their first stop was the grand summer residence of the Philippine president. The students were excited to take photos and learn a bit about Philippine history. 2. Wright Park This peaceful park offered scenic walking paths and the chance to observe local horseback riding — a relaxing setting to take in Baguio’s natural charm. 3. Mines View Park Excitement picked up here as students looked out over the mountains, shopped for souvenirs, and enjoyed local snacks together. It was a moment of both adventure and bonding. 4. Botanical Garden Students explored cultural displays and native huts while enjoying the garden's peaceful paths. Photo spots and traditional statues sparked their curiosity and creativity. 5. Baguio Museum At the museum, students gained a deeper understanding of Cordillera culture, taking in historical displays and observing indigenous artifacts with interest and focus. 6. SM City Baguio  To end the tour, students visited SM for some personal shopping. From snacks to school essentials, it was a practical stop where they used English in real-world scenarios — and had a bit of fun along the way.  What’s Next? This Baguio tour is just the first of many meaningful activities we offer at Pines. Whether it's local trips, cultural workshops, or real-world communication tasks, we’re committed to giving students experiences that help them grow — academically, socially, and personally. Stay connected with us for more stories from our junior students!

The teachers were very kind and easy to understand, which not only deepened my understanding of the English language, but also gave me the desire to learn more about it.

“ I'm really glad I came to PIA! I had such a great time! I'm excited to go back to Japan, but I'm also a little sad to say goodbye to the friends and teachers I made in PIA. I'd like to come back again next summer vacation! Thank you so much! ”

“ Before I came here, I wasn't able to make a sentence and speak fluently because I was worried that there might be a wrong expression in my sentence. But now, I can speak English without fear (even though I make a mistake) That's the biggest improvement for me. So, I think it's a good thing that I decided that I came here! ”

“ The speaking pace of my teachers at IELTS Specialized Campus was really faster than I had imagined. It was like talking to native speakers. My teachers focused on helping me improve my weaknesses and I had a clear direction on how to improve on these areas because there is a clear visual representation of my mock test results on Pines App that become a reminder of my study focus that led me in achieving 7.0 on the official exam. ”

“ I stayed for three months. At first, I was really nervous because it was my first time abroad, and I wasn't confident in my English. But the teachers at PIA were so kind and cheerful that my worries disappeared quickly. Speaking is still my biggest challenge but thanks to the teachers who understand me, I'm no longer afraid to try. Now, in my third month, talking with many teachers is most fun part. I don't even want to leave... ”
