The Value of Mercy Makes Sense

The decision to enroll your child in a private school is not one that a parent takes lightly. However, our resources in terms of faculty, innovative curriculum, technology, and facilities, indicate that Gwynedd-Mercy Academy takes very seriously its commitment to wisely steward our parents' tuition dollars and provide an excellent return on their tuition investment. Seeing the achievements, self-assurance and well-rounded presence of our graduates leaves no doubt that the GMA tuition dollar is a value that makes sense.
