Mr. James Ewer joined MPA as Lower School director on July 1, 2025. Mr. Ewer brings with him a powerful blend of experience, conviction, and vision that will serve the Lower School—and the entire MPA community—exceptionally well. We are thrilled to introduce him to our community!

This community feels truly special. From the moment I stepped in, there was a sense of warmth and honesty that stood out. People didn’t just share logistics or expectations—they shared their hopes and dreams. That openness, that willingness to be vulnerable and visionary at the same time, is what I felt most connected to. It reminded me that the heart of any thriving community isn’t just in its plans, but in the people who dare to imagine what’s possible together.

The lasting impact I hope to have on MPA and its students is grounded in transformation—of self, systems, and community. I want to help continue to build a culture where every student, especially those who have historically felt unseen, can recognize their brilliance, lead with purpose, and feel deeply connected to something greater than themselves. I aim to leave behind a legacy of courage, curiosity, and love.
