On Sunday, November 4, at 2 PM, prospective students and their families are invited to Mounds Park Academy’s campus for its fall Admission event, the MPA All School Preview! This will be a wonderful opportunity to get to know the people and the spaces that inspire students to dream big and do right. It will be similar to an Open House in that there will be time to explore, however a formal program will also help participants get to know MPA.
Lower School (grades PreK-4) families will start with a hands-on learning experience in the AnnMarie Thomas Makerspace, the only Makerspace of its kind in the Twin Cities for students in grades PreK-12. Newly opened, this space is a contemporary and physical manifestation of MPA’s long-standing belief that learning should be hands-on, experiential, and joyful. Following that activity, parents will move to an adjacent space to hear from Dr. Bill Hudson, Head of School, and Renee Wright, Lower School director, about what differentiates this division, while the children continue their activity. Parents and children will come back together and then head off on a student-led tour that will include visiting with homeroom teachers and specialists in their cozy classrooms.
When Middle and Upper School (grades 5-12) families arrive, they will begin in the Cafeteria where Dr. Bill Hudson, Head of School, Dr. Jenn Milam, Middle School director, and Mark Segal, Upper School director, will welcome them to campus. A Q&A session will then provide an inside glimpse at what life at Mounds Park Academy is really like from students, alumni, and parents. Have a question about the curriculum or how we teach? Perhaps a question about MPA’s extensive college counseling program? This will be one of many opportunities visitors have to get important questions answered. Following the panel, families will enjoy a student-led tour that will include meeting MPA’s exceptional teachers, visiting the state-of-the-art Lansing Sports Center, and getting to know the spaces that matter most to them.
Kindly RSVP in advance for this engaging program at moundsparkacademy.org/RSVP. If you have any questions, contact the Office of Admission at 651-748-5577 or admission@moundsparkacademy.org. We look forward to seeing your family there!
