College-Preparatory Curriculum
Mercy offers a college-preparatory curriculum to prepare our students for success after graduation. With a faculty-to-student ratio of 13-to-1, students receive individualized attention from experienced, caring teachers. In fact, many teachers have received local, state and national accolades. As a result of the small class sizes at Mercy, educational plans are customized to ensure each student’s success in all aspects of their academic growth.
