MCDS Difference
At Mercymount, we are a community of discovery. Our goal is to help Preschool - 8th grade students realize their full potential under the guidance of experienced educators, a supportive community and a culture driven by the Sisters of Mercy values. Our school blends tradition and innovation to prepare students to succeed and serve.
As an independent Catholic school, our core values are woven into everything we do. Students engage in project-driven and STEAM-focused learning that encourages a sense of social responsibility, service and personal integrity. We teach students to take responsibility for their learning through focused projects and a rigorous curriculum.
At Mercymount, students and families experience a loving, accepting sense of community. The student body is coeducational, diverse and welcoming to all. We welcome students regardless of race, color, religion, nationality or ethnic origin. Our staff and faculty are dedicated men and women committed to the core values of the Catholic Church and the Sisters of Mercy.
A progressive Sisters of Mercy values-based education for the whole child. That's the Mercymount difference.
