Why families choose MAPA

Seen as an individual, not just a desk number.

Mount Auburn Preparatory Academy (MAPA) is dedicated to transforming inner-city education into a launchpad for lifelong success. Our family-centered approach bridges the gap between home and the classroom, so your child’s future becomes our shared mission.

01Small Class Sizes: low student-to-teacher ratios ensure personalized academic attention and deeper engagement.
02Holistic Support: in-house counseling and youth services bring social-emotional learning directly into the school day.
03Open-Door Leadership: administrators keep an open-door policy that fosters transparency and active parent partnership.
04A Lifelong Community: we build a foundation for careers and college, and our alumni remain a vital part of our school family.
