Our Lady of Mercy is a Catholic school for young women in grades 6-12 offering a college preparatory academic program. Our school is a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, founded by Catherine McAuley in 1831. We are part of a 58-member Mercy Education System of the Americas, and as such, are committed to the education of young women of all faiths and backgrounds.
Since 1928, Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women has been a life changing experience for over 13,000 students. Our goal is to provide students with the tools they need to experience academic excellence, spirituality, and lifelong success. Mercy’s academic curriculum is college preparatory. Over 70% of the student population participates in the athletics program as members of over 30 sports teams.
Mercy students take part in many extracurricular activities, including clubs, student-led groups, and the performing arts. Ministry and service are integral parts of the Mercy experience. The traditions of Mercy date back to 1928 and include Spirit Week, Golden Mass, and May Day. Mercy alumnae are active with their alma mater, participating in reunions and fundraisers, and many become parents of Mercy students. Leadership on campus and in the community helps students achieve greatness in their college years and beyond.
