Here at Mount Aspiring College, we think we have a few points of difference.
Located in the stunning Southern Alps and lakes, Wānaka is a wonderful, multi-cultural, cosmopolitan little town and Mount Aspiring College is the area school for Wānaka and its surrounding villages which include Albert Town, Hawea, Hawea Flat, Luggate and Cardrona.
MAC has the benefit of being part of a small community in an amazing location. We have a number of special features that make us unique.
