Merion Mercy requires two teacher recommendations — one ELA/English and one Math. At least one recommendation should be from an 8th grade teacher.

We have found that most teachers prefer that the recommendation requests come to them digitally, through your MyMMA account. Alternatively, you can give teachers this Teacher Recommendation Form to fill out and send via email to admissions@merion-mercy.com.

While a campus visit is not required as part of the application process, it is strongly recommended. An 8th grade visit day is the best way for your daughter to get a sense of what it will be like to be a Merion student. Visit days will run from October through early December.
