Mercy Education

Secondary education nurtures full human development while preparing women for their critical roles in contemporary society. Mercy offers a comprehensive academic program that includes humanities, science, religious studies and fine arts. Mercy students experience the Catholic faith and the spirit of the Mercy Values through classroom instruction, retreats, all-school Eucharistic Liturgies and the completion of service hours required for graduation. These opportunities challenge students to identify issues and values important to them and to serve others, working along with their peers for justice and peace in the community.
