Every dollar raised will go to ensure the extraordinary teachers have the resources they need to do what they do best - TEACH!

Thirty years ago Bob and Sandy Kreischer stood on the edge of a dream. They were within days of opening their school, Mounds Park Academy. After a nail-biting end to fundraising andenrollment, the first day of school finally arrived – September 7, 1982. 110 students from kindergarten to 9th
grade walked through the door with 22 staff and faculty welcoming them to an adventure in the joy of learning.

We wonder, do you remember the moment you knew MPA was the best possible place for your child? Or your grandchild? The success of Mounds Park Academy rests on
the shoulders of people just like you – those that sought out a truly experiential innovative education for their children. MPA has thrived for 26 classes of graduates (in 2012). We are so grateful for the trust so many parents, grandparents, alumni, and family and friends have placed in Mounds Park Academy.

Our mission is simple: We teach students to think independently, communicate effectively and act with respect and integrity in a diverse community that models intellectual ambition, global responsibility and the joy of learning.

    Proud to see MPA on the leaderboard in the top 10. That's a sign of a strong community. Loved working at MPA for much of the 90s. Great school, inspiring teachers and amazing graduates. Just last week I ran into yet another MPA grad working to make our community a better place. They believed it when their MPA teachers told them they could change the world, and they are!
