Our Location
MAST serves three coastal counties characterized by large tracts of rural farmland, several small cities, and numerous suburban neighborhoods. Monterey County has towering redwoods, crashing surf, fertile earth, intact sights, unspoiled wildlife, and a foggy mist that gently veils the coast while quenching the valleys. Agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism are San Benito County’s major producing industries. San Benito includes the Diablo peaks and the native oak and grassland ranges. The two largest cities are Hollister (six square miles) and San Joan Bautista (310 acres) in a county of 1400 square miles. Santa Cruz County has beaches, majestic redwood forests, and vibrant cityscapes. It has a rich history and acclaimed arts for all students to enjoy. Two key attractions for students in this region are the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Point Lobos.
