Tsun jin High School is a Chinese independent high school situated along Jalan Loke Yew in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, established in 1955. It consists of buildings A, B, C and D as well as an ‘English’ building meant for English language lessons only.
The school is rather large, and has approximately 450 new students per year. Since the school has 6 years, the student population is approximately 2700. The principal has about ten years experience for leading the school into a better way. He has been a responsible principal for been developing this school excellently.
Academically, Tsun jin is excellent and has maintained that excellence for many years. Aside from studying, Tsun jin excels in sports, choir, and student societies. Basketball teams have won many championships for the past few years, and the seniors have broken the country’s records over and over again. The choir society has won many awards including best piano accompaniment in the country, best male vocalist in the country. Another one of the societies are the Tsun Jin High School Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. They have been to campfires often. They were considered one of the best boy scout and girl guides troop ever seen[citation needed].
Tsun Jin High School has more than a hundred societies including the drama club, Chinese society, debate team. The formation of a cheerleading squad and a Magic society have been rejected, due to the administration thinking that cheerleading is "not conforming to tradition" when it is nothing but a graceful combination of gymnastics, dance and school spirit(and it can still embrace tradition and modern life at the same time).Fact|date=July 2007}}
The time table for this school is fixed. Every other Monday, an assembly occurs. Each morning during administration period, different years will take turns to do their morning exercises followed by a speech session where every class representative will deliver a speech in that particular week’s language. During school hours, every period is 40 minutes long, followed by a ten minute break after every two lessons. There are two longer breaks, once at 9:20 am for twenty minutes and the other at 12:30 pm for forty minutes.
As this is a typical Chinese independent school where their first priority is discipline, the student’s natural instincts have been honed to tuck in their shirts, tidy their hair etc. Yes, it is a reflex that has been perfected by students over the years.

[edit] Ground Floor
On the ground floor, there is:
[edit] Two-story library
The two-story library contains thousands of books so that students can increase their knowledge.
[edit] Badminton courts
There are two badminton courts situated on each side of the school hall, therefore whomever is inside the hall will be able to hear every cheer that is made out on the courts.
[edit] Car park
A small car park is situated on the ground floor. These car park spaces are usually used by parents who pick up their children after school who somehow think that getting out of the car will solve traffic problems.
[edit] Air-conditioned hall
The air-conditioned hall is situated between the two badminton courts. Concerts and any form of lectures are usually held there.The small hall has a capacity of 800 persons only, so now the school had organized a project which is going to build a BIG hall which has a capacity of 2500 persons. It is difficulty mission because the school's target is 9 million ringgit Malaysia.
[edit] Music room
The music room is usually occupied by the choir society. During school hours, the teacher uses it to hold music classes.
[edit] A canteen
The canteen is the busiest place during break. The canteen closer to the Car park is generally considered cheaper than the other stall.
[edit] Other Floors
The first floor includes the staff room, the different departments and classrooms. The second, third only consists of classrooms whereas the fourth/last floor consists of more classrooms and two computer rooms which are so far behind in modern technology (they're still using Windows 98) that it makes one nauseous.
Down the slope on the right of the school gate, there is a 240m running track, a small field and two basketball courts which doubles as a volleyball court.
