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 girl. On her visit, your daughter will spend the day accompanied by a current Merion student. Visit days will run through early December.
3 - Request records from your current school.
Grade school transcripts should be requested by giving this Release of Records Form to your daughter’s grade school office. Records should include grades, standardized test scores, and attendance records. We prefer that transcripts are sent via email to admissions@merion-mercy.com. They can also be mailed to Merion Mercy Academy at 511 Montgomery Avenue Merion Station, PA 19066.
4 - Two teacher recommendations are required (one ELA/English and one Math).
At least one recommendation should be from an 8th grade teacher. 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.
5 - Apply for Financial Aid and additional scholarships (optional).
Parents who are interested in applying for need-based financial aid should do so as soon as possible following the submission of their application, and no later than November 1, 2024. Learn more about our financial aid process here.
Additionally, Merion Mercy Academy offers a variety of scholarships requiring a supplemental application, also due by November 1. Visit our tuition page for details and links to apply.
6 - Receive Notification of our Admission Decision.
Applications received after the November 1st deadline will be reviewed on a case by case basis. However, families are encouraged to reach out to the Merion Mercy Admission Office regarding application questions at any time.
