With distinctive, meaningful programs, Morgan Park Academy goes beyond preparing talented and diverse students for excellent colleges. MPA empowers its graduates to become world citizens with lives of purpose and personal fulfillment. Most important, students develop a deep understanding of themselves, extraordinary skills for achievement, and the compassion to make a positive difference in the world.
In the admission process, we look beyond the typical qualifications. While strong academic performance and test scores can show a student’s readiness for academic challenge, each student’s fit with Morgan Park Academy's philosophy and mission is also important. We look to see what each applicant will add to the mix of experiences, talents, backgrounds, and perspectives that form our school community.
