"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."
Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 private college preparatory school in Saint Paul, Minnesota where academic rigor with purpose prepares students to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world.
The MPA mission is more relevant and necessary during these uncertain times as our community, nation, and world wrestle with the impact of COVID-19. We are back to campus for the 2020-21 school year with flexible scenarios that allow the school to pivot, if necessary.

"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."
"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."
