Supportive Teachers. Engaged Students. Lifelong Success.

Mount Auburn Preparatory Academy (MAPA) is a tuition-free, K–12 public charter school in Cincinnati, OH, dedicated to transforming "inner city" education into a launchpad for lifelong success. We believe every child deserves a safe, supportive learning environment where they are seen as an individual, not just a desk number.

At MAPA, we differentiate ourselves through a family-centered approach that bridges the gap between home and the classroom. While other schools may feel like institutions, we operate as a tight-knit community where your child’s future is our shared mission.

Why Families Choose MAPA:

• Small Class Sizes: We prioritize low student-to-teacher ratios to ensure personalized academic attention and deeper engagement.

• Holistic Support: With in-house counseling and youth services, we integrate social-emotional learning directly into the school day.

• Open-Door Leadership: Our administrators maintain an open-door policy, fostering an environment of transparency and active parent partnership.

• A Lifelong Community: We don’t just prepare kids for high school; we build a foundation for careers and college where even our alumni remain a vital part of our school family.
