About Our School

Mounds Park Academy is a PreK-12 independent school in Saint Paul, Minnesota, serving approximately 575 students from across the Twin Cities.

Since 1982, the school has engaged students in a rigorous college-preparatory experience that is demanding but not draining and goes far beyond memorization. Students are challenged to apply their understanding to stir the human spirit, stand for justice, and shake the world.

We call this rigor with purpose, and it grounds our students in the radical idea that their identity in the world is not measured by a test score, but rather by the depth and decency of their impact on the world.
