Tuition
Mounds Park Academy is a not-for-profit organization; therefore, the school’s main source of revenue is tuition. 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. At Mounds Park Academy, students enjoy the benefits of academic rigor with purpose in smaller classes taught by highly qualified, passionate teachers. With outstanding programming and top faculty, we are sure that parents and students will find that MPA lives up to its reputation of developing confident, composed, creative, and conscientious global citizens. Financial assistance funds are available on a limited basis to qualifying families.
