From the moment you enter Mounds Park Academy you will quickly discover we’ve created an environment where intellectual energy and creativity are alive and thriving. Our energy and enthusiasm for learning begins by having students and faculty from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 all under one technologically advanced, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally aware roof.
As an independent college preparatory school we have educators who are experts in their field. Our teachers care deeply about the development of the whole child by engaging students through rigorous and challenging coursework, extra-curricular activities, and experiential learning. Our mission is demonstrated by each member of the MPA community every day – we teach students to think independently, communicate effectively and act with respect and integrity in a diverse community that models intellectual ambition, global responsibility and the joy of learning.
For more than 25 years Mounds Park Academy faculty have sparked enthusiasm and ignited ideas in our diverse student population inspiring in our students a love of learning and the confidence to reach their potential. As Nelson Mandela stated “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change our world” and our students have reached, achieved and accomplished greatness throughout the world each in their unique way.
We invite you to visit Mounds Park Academy online or in person to learn more about the outstanding opportunities we offer students. We welcome young people who jump wholeheartedly into experiences that expand their world academically, physically, and socially. We hope you seek all things meaningful for your child…all things transformative for your child…and all things that spark possibilities for your child at Mounds Park Academy!
Regards,
