Why Mercy
Mercy Academy's performance-based curriculum provides hands-on, real-world problem solving in a nurturing and faith-filled environment. Each student is encouraged to be herself and share her unique views to contribute to classroom collaboration...
Our Mission
The Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, founded on the vision of Catherine McAuley and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy exists to serve young women by providing a quality Catholic education within a caring faith community...
Academics
At Mercy, we develop each student to her greatest potential by providing her with an environment for maximum growth, at a level commensurate with her individual abilities. We offer six academic course levels to benefit students from all levels of learning.
STEM
As the nation’s first all-girls accredited STEM school, Mercy prepares students for an in-demand, male-dominated STEM job market by exposing them to fields that most do not experience until college.
Fine Arts
Mercy's Fine Arts Department fosters the growth of creative minds with all levels of experience. Our exceptional teachers work one-on-one with each student to improve her skills in 2-D and 3-D art, graphic design, theatre arts, choral music and creative writing.
Student Success
Each student has access to a robust support network, including school counselors, a specialized college & career counselor, and personalized accommodations. Our tutoring resource center further ensures every student has the help they need to thrive academically.
Clubs & Committees
Involvement is an integral part of the Mercy experience. Participating in clubs and committees is a great way for students to connect with their classmates outside the classroom.
Athletics
Involvement is an integral part of the Mercy experience. Participating in athletics is just one of the many opportunities students have to connect with their classmates outside the classroom.
All-Girls Catholic High School
Mercy Academy is a Catholic high school that welcomes young ladies of all faith backgrounds.
Bus Service
Mercy provides a bus service through Miller Transportation with options for round-trip or one-way services. We have 30 stops throughout the greater-Louisville area, making transportation to school one less thing you have to worry about!
