"An MPA education is relationship based. The students are able to learn deeply because they are able to speak up in class, to get immediate, oral feedback, to ask questions, to question ideas, and especially to chat informally about what matters to them and what they find interesting. Additionally, they interact with the whole of the student body in classes, hallways, gyms, stages, and common areas both socially and intellectually. "Mounds Park Academy is a top ranked PreK-12 private college preparatory school in Saint Paul where academic rigor prepares students to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world.

"MPA has helped me find my voice. Within MPA, I found communities where I was fully accepted and felt safe to be vulnerable and share my ideas and opinions. The teachers at MPA always supported me in my goals and dreams and given me the resources to help me follow the right path to achieve them. Having a community that truly believes in you and your future has encouraged me to dream big and do right."
"We wanted a school that was excellent academically, but that also took a holistic approach to the student. We value that MPA cultivates active community members and social change agents. We like how design thinking has been interwoven throughout the school. Over the past several months we have seen our son growing and learning in a range of ways, including how to use his 'emotional toolbox' to handle difficult situations."
