Campus Faculty Curriculum Opportunities Why MPA?

Welcome to Mounds Park Academy

Thank you for your interest in Mounds Park Academy! Having students and faculty from pre-kindergarten through grade 12 on one campus brings an unmatched energy, spirit and camaraderie in the classrooms, down the hallways, and across our 32-acre campus.

Every year we enroll approximately 100 new students in all grade levels. Each family who makes the investment in its child’s future has a unique set of reasons why MPA was the right choice for them. That is precisely what makes MPA such a special place.

We are not a school that is limited to one mantra. In fact, we take pride in the fact that for over a quarter of a century many different types of students have found incredible success at MPA. Our college prep curriculum, superb faculty, and inviting campus allow students to discover, explore, and analyze issues knowing they will most likely find a number of possible solutions. Teaching students to appreciate and enjoy the process of intellectual inquiry is MPA’s resounding theme. Is there a better way to prepare a child for college and for life?

We hope you’ll get to know us a little better by perusing our website. You’ll find information about the school including our staff, curriculum, and extra-curricular activities. You’ll also find the information and materials to pursue admission to MPA.

Warmest Regards,

Mary Braun
