Nurturing children’s minds, bodies and spirits for more than 114 years.
Changing the world for the better.
We teach children to be curious. To be passionate. To seize the day. Most importantly – and this is something that is so unique to the Mount Merici experience – students are taught to do the right thing. We’re not only preparing students to excel academically; we’re helping them become citizens of integrity who strive to make a difference in the world.
Our Mission
Mount Merici Academy, a Catholic school, is dedicated to nurturing the whole child - mind, body, and spirit - providing love and guidance so that students can achieve their personal best. In partnership with families, our mission is to instill the values of respect, responsibility, and self-discipline, teaching students in the Ursuline Serviam tradition of service to our community and the world.
Ursuline Educational Mission
At the heart of Ursuline education is the Gospel call to mission and the living spirit of St. Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline Sisters. Grounded in this call and in this spirit, Ursuline education is relationship-centered, with attentiveness to and respect for the unique gifts, potential, and needs of each individual. It is an educational vision that fosters the development of the whole person – spirit, mind, and body – in a nurturing community environment. As Jesus and St. Angela were both attuned to the needs of those around them, Ursuline education seeks to form servant-leaders, open to and engaged in the ever-changing global reality in which they are called to live and serve.

Equipped with the tools for success.
We help children to embrace challenges and view them as growth opportunities. Our small class sizes allow students to feel more confident to ask questions and get extra help. At Mount Merici, students know that they'll be supported by their teachers and peers, regardless of their successes and failures.
At Mount Merici, our approach to education extends beyond academic excellence. With the Ursuline focus on service over self, students are hardwired for lasting connection and contribution.
“Nothing makes me more hopeful than to think of the next generations of Mount Merici graduates taking what they learned here – the values instilled here – and making the world a better place.”
— Amy Bureau Jefferson | Alumni
