Mount Merici Academy is an Ursuline Catholic school. As such, it is uniquely governed by a lay Board of Trustees under the guidance of the Ursuline Sisters of the Central Province, and receives no financial support from the Diocese of Portland or from any local parish.
The school is fully administered and staffed by a dedicated Head of School and Maine State Certified faculty, all of whom are dedicated to keeping the Ursuline spirit alive by educating the whole child – mind, body and spirit – with emphasis on academic excellence and service in an environment of compassion, understanding and respect.
