Morgan Park Academy was an amazing school for myself, because it allowed the teachers to instill my full potential in both the classroom and the world as a whole. There are great paths and clubs for everyone to enjoy, but the only drawback to the school was that there could be more social activities throughout the year for incoming students.

My time at Morgan Park Academy was unlike any other school I've attended. The teachers are actively involved, the students are welcoming, and the overall environment is fantastic. It's been a unique and positive experience.

I have been going to MPA since PreK3 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Since my time at MPA, I have made lifelong friends and memories that I will always cherish. My favorite part of my time at MPA has been high school. During the summer before my freshman year, my mom came up with the idea that I should play tennis, which has been one of her best ideas to date. That one conversation led me to become team captain and play on varsity all four years. I will always remember the memories made on our project week trips, both junior and senior.

I went here as a student through 5th to 8th grade, and after the pandemic, the school has just been slowly spiraling downhill ever since; the school is hiring faculty that are less and less qualified for their job, and the few remaining qualified teachers are starting to leave. Not only that, the sc...
