Mercy Education System of the Americas

Mercy students, in the spirit of our founder Catherine McAuley, are steadfastly determined to take Mercy into an interconnected world. Our shared sense of social consciousness is fortified by universal empathy and a conviction that all are worthy of God’s mercy. This deep awareness and compassion move us to take principled action and  serve the needs of others.

Mercy students welcome the challenge of pursuing their full potential in a culture of excellence, critical thinking  and curiosity. Their multifaceted journey builds character while it builds essential skills. Our holistic program expects engagement, a thirst for knowledge and personal responsibility, while preparing students to thrive for a lifetime.

Mercy students become living models of faith and forceful advocates for Gospel values. Grounded in our Catholic identity in the Mercy tradition, we welcome all faiths and are strengthened and shaped by these relationships.  As we pursue a personal relationship with God, we strenuously follow Jesus Christ’s example of social justice,  love and service.

Mercy students are poised to lead with their unique gifts. Prepared with an ethical and moral compass, we put Mercy values into action and work assertively for what is right. We’re equipped to make difficult choices, learn  from our mistakes and develop high emotional intelligence. As an international community, we’re confident in  our ability to make a positive difference and push for systemic change.

Mercy students honor the intrinsic value of the individual and recognize God's presence in each person.  We embrace a global vision and value differences of opinion, and are unafraid to confront hostile or hurtful attitudes. By standing up for those who can't, we go beyond acceptance to help make sure everyone feels recognized and heard
