Manawatu College offers a range of academic programs across various departments, including both required and optional subjects. The school provides education from Year 9 to Year 13, with specialized classes for students with special needs, who have the option to attend separate classes or integrate with the general student body. For Year 9 students, Manawatu College employs a home room system, where students have a single classroom for most subjects.[4] Manawatu College offers a range of extracurricular activities, including sports teams, music programs, and adventure education.
The college is situated in Foxton, New Zealand, with three entrances:

Each student belongs to a 'house group'. They compete against each other in an inter-house competition twice a term. The house group with the highest number of points at the end of each year wins the 'house cup. Each house is named after a founding member of the college.
