Our Philosophy
Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy seeks to provide a quality Catholic education for our children. We educate the whole child through programs encompassing the spiritual, intellectual, social, psychological and physical development of our students.
Through our religious education program, we strive to develop a well-rounded Christian personality, which will be reflected by respect toward self and others as exemplified by Jesus in the Gospels.
In cooperation with families, the staff works to assist the child in developing a system of values by which to judge the use of knowledge and skills. The rules and disciplines that are incorporated are necessary for the preservation of an atmosphere best adapted to learning. In this way, students will learn to be responsible and accountable.
Our Mission
Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy is committed to academic excellence that is rooted in the Catholic faith, affirmed by the teachings of Jesus Christ, and centered on our service to God, family, and community
Core Values

Vision
An exceptional and innovative learning environment grounded in the Catholic faith that fosters the growth and development of future leaders as instruments of change.
“Education cannot be neutral. It is either positive or negative; either it enriches or it impoverishes; either it enables a person to grow or it lessens, even corrupts him. The mission of schools is to develop a sense of truth, of what is good and beautiful. And this occurs through a rich path made up of many ingredients. This is why there are so many subjects — because development is the results of different elements that act together and stimulate intelligence, knowledge, the emotions, the body, and so on.”
“If something is true, it is good and beautiful; if it is beautiful, it is good and true; if it is good, it is true and it is beautiful. And together, these elements enable us to grow and help us to love life, even when we are not well, even in the midst of many problems. True education enables us to love life and opens us to the fullness of life.”
– Pope Francis
