HSPT at Merion Mercy:

The High School Placement Test is a required part of the Merion Mercy application process.

We are happy to accept HSPT scores from another school. If your daughter has not yet taken the HSPT, the Admissions Office will contact you to schedule a time for your daughter take the HSPT at Merion Mercy once we have received an admissions application and supporting documents.

Families may request records digitally through their MyMMA account. Please enter the name and email address of the person at your daughter's school responsible for the documents. Records should include grades, standardized test scores, and attendance records.

Alternatively, families may print and submit the Release of Records Form to your daughter’s grade school office. Transcripts should be sent directly from your school via email to admissions@merion-mercy.com. They can also be mailed to Merion Mercy Academy at 511 Montgomery Avenue Merion Station, PA 19066.  

Merion Mercy requires two teacher recommendations — one should come from an English/ELA teacher and one from a math teacher. Both should come from 7th or 8th grade teachers.

Teachers typically prefer that recommendation requests come to them digitally, through your MyMMA account. To request recommendations digitally, log into your MyMMA account and go to your checklist. Select the recommendation you wish to request (ELA or math) and click START.  You will be prompted to enter the teacher’s name and email address. Teachers will then be able to submit recommendations directly through MyMMA. 

Alternatively, you can give the teacher this Teacher Recommendation Form to fill out and return to us via email at 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.

Please reach out to the Admissions Office to schedule a visit.

Families who are interested in applying for need-based financial aid should do so as soon as possible following the submission of their application.
