Located across from Lafarge Park and next to the David Lam Campus of Douglas College, Pinetree is unique in that it shares its site and part of the facility with both Coquitlam Parks and Leisure Services and Douglas College. This three-way partnership has enabled all partner groups to benefit from cost sharing in the creation of exceptional physical education facilities. Pinetree offers a wide range of courses in Mathematics, Science, Humanities, and Arts. In addition to regular courses it offers an Honours pathway in each of these departments. The Honours pathway starts at Grade 9 and develops into Advanced Placement and/or Independent Directed Studies courses.

Pinetree actively participates in a variety of mathematics competitions and frequently achieves high rankings.
