Originally established in 1901, the school was rebuilt on a new site in 1983 with a new name of Mountainview High School.  Emphasis is placed on providing a caring environment where high standards of academic excellence are expected.

School Vision: Our vision is to create learning opportunities that empower students so that they can thrive within and beyond our Whānau environment.

Academic Programme:

The school accepts students from Year 9 to Year 13. A wide choice of subjects is available.

Extracurricular activities offered include golf, skiing and snowboarding, tramping sailing and a variety of sports teams engaging in regular competition, including basketball, badminton, table tennis, soccer, rugby, volleyball and hockey. Tuition in musical instruments is available and music and drama play an important part in school life.

English Language Support: A comprehensive ESOL programme is available from highly-trained and qualified ESOL teachers.

Course Commencement: Students are accepted at any time during the year.

Student Support: On first arrival students are met at Christchurch International Airport at no extra cost. There is a fulltime Director of International Students to look after their needs.

In Summary: Mountainview High School provides excellent preparation for University study. Class sizes are limited so that students are able to receive close personal attention.
