MOUNDS PARK ACADEMY
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 ROOF Our 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.
innovative
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.

BALLY AGED
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.
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.
