Mercy Academy

At Mercy, we believe in empowering young women by unlocking their fullest potential and developing their unique gifts and talents. You’ll find that our core values are the driving force behind our educational philosophy and ties that bind us together as a Mercy community. Our students graduate with a sense of pride, purpose and principled leadership. 

With 53% of our students receiving tuition assistance, this one-of-a-kind educational experience is only a possibility for so many because of the generosity of our larger community. Your gift allows for us to ensure that Mercy remains a viable option for any young woman who chooses Mercy as her high school and second home.

Investing in a Mercy girl is an investment in our community. Our students graduate as confident, well-prepared young women who are ready to take on the world. This would not be possible without your support. Thank you!
