Admission Process
The admission process at Mounds Park Academy is made up of a series of steps that will help us get to know the students and families who are considering the school. Likewise, moving through the admission process will help you get to know MPA better.
MPA uses an online application system called Ravenna. Within Ravenna, families may complete the online admission application, request academic records and teacher recommendation forms, and track the status of the application.
The MPA admission application is currently closed. Check back on September 15, 2024 when it will open for the 2025-26 school year and for mid-year starts for the 2024-25 school year.
Please contact the Office of Admission at admission@moundsparkacademy.org or 651-748-5577 with questions. We look forward to getting to know your family throughout the admission process!
