Travel Opportunities

Mercy partners with El Colegio Santa Ethnea, a Mercy school in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to develop the Mercy Ambassador Exchange Program.

Each year, students from Santa Ethnea stay with Mercy students and their families for four weeks in January or February. They come to school with our students and participate in retreats, school activities, service, etc. In June, our Mercy students then travel to Buenos Aires to participate in similar activities at Santa Ethnea for four weeks.

This is an incredible program to develop language and cultural study, while providing an opportunity for deeper understanding of the far-reaching mission and charism of the Sisters of Mercy.

Mercy partners with Trinity High School for a scientific research trip in Costa Rica during the summer. Over the course of 10 days, students design and implement their own unique research projects, all while exploring their beautiful surroundings!

This is a great opportunity for those who enjoy working in the environment and learning more about science.

We offer two trips to New York City for our seniors each year. The three-day trip is jam-packed with fun activities to bond with classmates and to explore a new city.

Highlights of the trip include visits to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Times Square, Top of the Rockefeller Plaza, Grand Central Station, NBC Studio, 9/11 Memorial and Museum, Central Park, Chinatown and Little Italy, along with Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral and a walking tour of the Financial District.

This high-energy weekend is a favorite memory for Mercy students year after year.

Students involved in Mercy’s theatre department are invited to participate in the world-renowned Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. This is the world’s largest international theatre festival with the American High School Theatre Festival, and Mercy is proud to have been selected to perform for the second time! Students experience the transformation of the whole city to a stage. Visitors can view performances everywhere from playgrounds to conference rooms and from city parks to churches, as 3,000 different performers showcase their talents. 

Mercy partners with EF Tours to provide different travel opportunities to our students during the summertime.

In the last few years, Mercy girls have visited: England/Ireland/Scotland, Italy/France, Spain, Peru, Galápagos Islands and many other places around the globe.
