Tuition and financial aid
Investing in the MPA Experience
Mounds Park Academy is a not-for-profit organization; therefore, the school’s main source of revenue is tuition fees. Tuition is used to finance the school’s operating costs including school programs, teachers’ salaries and benefits, and facility maintenance. These elements are the core of the MPA experience, which is an investment in your child's future. At Mounds Park Academy, students enjoy the benefits of smaller classes taught by highly qualified, passionate teachers. With outstanding programming and top faculty, we are sure that parents and students will find that the MPA lives up to its reputation of developing confident, composed, creative, and consciencious global citizens. Consider it an investment in the future.

Financial Aid at MPA
Mounds Park Academy offers financial aid to qualified applicants to enable students of diverse economic backgrounds to attend MPA. These grants are available to students entering Kindergarten through Grade 12 and do not need to be repaid. MPA believes that the family should be the first resource for funding an independent education. It is our goal to allocate MPA financial aid resources to a diverse community to make an MPA education a reality.
In the 2011-2012, approximately 26 percent of our students will receive more than $2 million in financial aid support.
MPA has limited financial aid resources and not everyone that qualifies for aid according to SSS will receive aid. We allocate financial aid as equitably as possible among all grades.
