Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women

Mercy is the only college preparatory, faith-based private school exclusively for young women in grades 6 through 12 in the Rochester region. Mercy builds life-changing confidence and compassion that prepares and inspires young women to achieve the highest level of success in college, in career, and in the community. This is accomplished through Mercy’s strong academic and extra-curricular offerings and supportive advocacy of a caring faculty. In addition, Mercy students are instilled with a solid moral compass which prepares them to excel and lead within a global society. We offered $1.5 million in financial assistance to nearly 40% of our student population last year. Mercy’s Class of 2019 merited $30 million in college scholarships and join other alumnae who are attending nationally-renowned institutions including Cornell, UPenn, John Carroll, Villanova, Syracuse, Notre Dame, St. John Fisher, Catholic University, RIT, SUNY Geneseo and many other prestigious schools.
