Celebrating this achievement is a reflection of our community of dedicated faculty, supportive families, engaged alumni, and curious, joyful students–part of what makes MPA such a special place to learn and grow.

Since MPA’s founding, embracing diversity, seeking equity, and striving to be a profoundly inclusive community have been central to who we are. A community enriched by different identities, experiences, cultures, and perspectives creates meaningful opportunities for students to learn from one another, engage thoughtfully across differences, and develop the empathy and understanding they need to thrive in an increasingly diverse world. This recognition reflects something we value deeply: creating a school where students can belong, be known, and grow alongside people whose experiences may be both similar to and different from their own.

Being recognized as one of the top schools in the state is about more than test scores–it’s about the unique, joyful learning that students experience at MPA every day. Here, they are encouraged to think critically, act with empathy, learn from different perspectives, and embrace challenges with creativity and confidence. Our holistic approach to education fosters not just academic excellence, but also the social and emotional growth that prepares students to thrive in school and in life.

At MPA, we believe in learning by doing, and the best way to understand our community is to experience it for yourself. We invite you to RSVP for the PreK-12 MPA Preview on November 15. You’ll have the opportunity to participate in experiences led by expert faculty, meet community members, and feel the warmth of our welcoming, inclusive community. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of what makes an MPA education, and the community surrounding it, so special.
