MPA remains committed to the values that the school was founded upon and has established important academic priorities school wide:

 

In addition, the continued advancement of Mounds Park Academy's academic priorities is guided by a five-year strategic plan called Momentum 2020. Specifically to the academic portion of the plan, it calls for MPA to empower students to live, learn, and thrive in the 21st century globalized society. Goals include:

• Clearly articulate MPA's educational philosophy in light of the 21st century
• Explore creative and innovative modes of teaching and learning
• Reimagine and implement a progressive PreK-12 program that remains aligned with our mission and core values
• Deepen essential student support services

Work continues on these goals and current families are kept up to date via the weekly Panther Post.
