Dream Big. Do Right.

Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 private college preparatory school in Saint Paul where students apply their knowledge to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world.

MPA teachers and staff don't shy away from tough issues, instead posing them as discussion topics and guiding students in thinking through them critically and empathetically to arrive at a conscientious, thoughtful opinion.
– Ms. McFarland, International Student Program
coordinator and parent Mounds Park Academy My MPA Story
There was a moment when we were in groups and I had new students that I didn't know as well in mine, plus some teachers that our grade was just getting to know, yet everyone was themselves with each other.
– JD Ogden, junior
Mounds Park Academy My MPA Story
The difference, and my son's transformation, have been remarkable. At MPA, with the support of teachers who immediately saw his strengths (and his weak spots), he has become a highly motivated learner, who actively participates in both academic and extracurricular activities.
