MOUNDSPARKACADEMY
Smart and self-sufficient. Energized and aware.
Accomplished, compassionate, and innovative.
For more than 30 years, Mounds Park Academy
has engaged thousands of students in a
transformative college-prep education that
empowers them to think independently, act
with integrity, and blaze new trails.
Our rigorous curriculum and exceptional faculty
are a catalyst for academic excellence, creating
a vibrant learning environment where it’s cool
to be smart, embrace your talents, and unlock
your full potential.
At every age and grade, MPA students receive
highly personalized support to help them reach
their goals and build meaningful relationships.
We’ve worked hard to create a place where
children thrive. Where they focus and have fun.
Where they can be ... and become.
PREK–12 UNDER ONE ROOFOur strong sense of community begins on MPA’s 32-acre campus, where all students come together each day. This shared space facilitates mentoring and classroom partnerships, creating an atmosphere of trust, kindness, and mutual respect from PreK to grade 12.
Our academic program is demanding but
not draining—and never rote or routine.
Our approach challenges students to think
beyond the page and question the “right
answer” while grounding themselves in
an established curriculum. As a result,
MPA students set a high standard for
outstanding performance without taking
themselves too seriously. They achieve
long-term success and earn high honors
while having some fun along the way.
Children are natural learners, eager
and open. That innate curiosity is
cultivated throughout MPA. Our
educational experience is challenging
and rewarding, designed to inspire and
energize. Students are self-directed,
internally motivated, and proud of their
accomplishments. They feel good about
school and care about each other.
MPA students think big, roll up their sleeves, and take risks to
build their creative confidence. In the iLab, students apply the
principles of design thinking to collaboratively solve real-world
problems. Our Digital Fabrication Studio provides extraordinary
access to the latest technology, allowing students to transform
their ideas into reality.

GLOBALLY ENGAGED
Here, learning goes beyond
the classroom walls. Students
step bravely into their
greater community and the
world to get a first-person
understanding of different
cultural experiences and
diverse voices. They realize that
their opinion isn’t the only point
of view. They become both
book wise and street smart.
GLOBALLY ENGAGED
MPA graduates go on to do great things. Like Sam Robinson, a rocket scientist who
designs space camera lenses that mimic the human eye. Or Caitlin Smith, who lives in
Germany and manages sustainable agriculture projects in Africa and Europe. And Naomi
Barry-Perez, Director of the Civil Rights Center for the U.S. Department of Labor. All MPA.
All changing the world. All continually finding new ways to achieve, to be, and to become.
