Shadow at Mercy
Shadowing is one of the best ways to experience our amazing atmosphere at Mercy! 8th grade students are encouraged to shadow before taking the high school placement test. During a shadow visit, your student attends classes alongside a Mercy student, meets teachers, enjoys a complimentary lunch, and experiences the Mercy sisterhood! Your student can request a Mercy student to spend the day with or we can pair her with a student based on similar interests.

Taking a personal tour of Mercy is also a great way to experience our family-like atmosphere. Tours are available Monday-Friday and typically last about an hour (this can be altered to fit your needs). During the visit, your family will see our uniquely designed classrooms, STEM innovation center, state-of-the-art theatre, on-campus athletic facilities and more!
