History
In 2004 the Antarctica Private Education bought the former Club Penguin Island Academy and spent two years redesigning and improving the building. Eventually in 2006 they came up with an excellent school ground with four main buildings. The school was named Mountain College because of it's location. APE had an excellent school with excellent facilities and decided to divide it into it's school system. Admissions soon became avalible with 40 places in Infant and Junior sector and 100 in University Prepartory (excluding it's junior college). The school soon had 740 students. All the places were full. The school fees were cheap and admissions was non selective making it popular. In it's first year 70% went to an insitute of further education.

Administration
It has a complicated administration system. The Excecutive Principle was in total control and appoints three Principles to run the different schools (they also act as deputies). Each form is headed by a form teacher along he or she's assistant(s). The form teachers answer to the Principles. One Form Teacher is selected as a Deputy Principle. The governing board consists of four staff governors from each school and four parent governors from each school, making 24. One parent governor is voted Director of College who is equal to the Executive Principle and a President who is in charge of the governors and is always a member of staff. Each governor serves a term of four years before another governor is voted (either by parents or teachers).
