Why Mercy?
At Mercy, we empower our students to pursue their dreams and change the world. We are committed to a unique, hands-on curriculum focused on critical thinking and real-life problem solving.
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 five 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 a large network of support in order to help her to perform at her highest potential. Our students have access to two counselors, two student success coaches and a school psychologist to help navigate their feelings and wellness.
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.
Bus Service
Mercy provides a bus service through Miller Transportation with options for round-trip or one-way services. We have 24 stops throughout the greater-Louisville area, making transportation to school one less thing you have to worry about!
All-Girls Catholic School
Mercy Academy is a Catholic school that welcomes young ladies of all faith backgrounds.
