Message from Head of School Marianne Grace

No work of charity can be more productive of good to society than the careful instruction of women.

This quote, from Catherine McAuley, the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy, is as true today as it was in the 1830s.  At Merion Mercy Academy, we pride ourselves on educating young women to become visionary leaders with unique talents and limitless potential.

Merion girls are curious, confident, competent and compassionate.  Through a curriculum that is at once challenging, stimulating, and personalized, our students learn who they are and how to be “shining lamps,” giving light to all around them.

Merion Mercy graduates are extraordinary women with high emotional intelligence, a strong moral compass and a passion for shaping the future. They become leaders in their fields as doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, champions for social justice, and so much more.   

Every day, Merion girls lean in to becoming the best version of themselves. At Merion Mercy Academy we welcome every girl to come as you are and leave as you are meant to be.  

I invite you to see yourself as a Merion girl, one who is empowered to change the world
