About the Provider
Mounds Park Academy's history is filled with innovation and dedication. Educators Bob and Sandy Kreischer founded the school with the belief that the best way for students to realize their full potential is by making learning joyful. Since the school opened its doors in 1982, MPA students have been joyfully engaged in their own intellectual, social, physical, and moral growth. The idea that a school could be nurturing and rigorous was new, but after 30 years, the hallways of MPA continue to be filled with vibrant, happy, challenged students.
