Independent Private School | Mounds Park Academy, St Paul

Dream Big. Do Right.

Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 private college preparatory school in Saint Paul where academic rigor with meaning and purpose prepares students to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world.

Parenting is a greater challenge than we could have possibly imagined. Partnering with MPA to help us educate and raise our children gives us a great sense of comfort in knowing that the school we chose is as devoted to seeing our children develop to their full potential as we are.

My MPA Experience

Years ago, my mother shared that a friend of hers, another MPA parent, told her that no matter what your child excels at, the teachers at MPA will find it. As an alum, I absolutely believe this is true, but I'll add that they don't stop when the skill is discovered.

My MPA Experience

At MPA you are not taught what to think, you are taught how. The teachers at MPA recognize the importance of creating people who can think for themselves, not just repeat a string of facts ... You are encouraged to ask questions, to challenge ideas, and to think differently.
