Pinelands High School - Educating youth in a diverse and exciting community

The school draws 950 students from Pinelands, Cape Town, as well as from the surrounding suburbs and the Cape Flats and is one of the most successful examples of transformation in an educational community in South Africa. Our goal is to provide students with a world class education despite the financial challenges faced by many.

Our current focus is two-fold: To provide suitable facilities and equipment to further the aims of providing a world-class education, and to extend our bursary fund to sponsor students in need.
