The Mercy Girl Experience

College Counseling

Mercy Girls have access to more than just a top-notch education. They also receive guidance toward artistic, academic, or other goals, and a system of support that will last a lifetime. 

Our college preparatory program includes a focus on college and career planning that is sensitive to the particular gifts and needs of each student. With Mercy behind you, you can go anywhere and do anything, while still having a place to call home!

Each Mercy Girl—beginning the moment she walks through the door—explores college and career options that will be the best fir for her as she addresses issues that will help her live a healthy life in high school and beyond.

Students and faculty utilize SCOIR, an online program that streamlines the college search and application process. For test preparation, Mercy partners with The Answer Class, a virtual bootcamp. Mercy Girls also have access to Method Learning, an online test program.

Mercy also hosts more than 100 visits from college representatives each year, as well as a college fair, where reps are eager to meet our exceptionally prepared students. Custom workshops and tailored meetings assist families with college admissions details including applying for financial aid and transitioning their daughter to college. Families are given the individualized attention they need to successfully navigate the college process, and just last year, our 102 graduates in the Class of 2024 earned more than $23.1 million in merit scholarships and awards!
