Who is a Woman of Mercy?

She’s strong. She’s compassionate. She knows how to get things done. Founded by women for women, Mercy empowers students to lead, to learn and to support each other in whatever paths they choose. Read on to learn why Mercy is the perfect place for you to shine and reach your full potential.

All Girls. All Empowering.

It’s a fact and research proves it. Girls are more likely to thrive in a learning environment that offers high levels of positive reinforcement, support and cooperation. 

Graduates of an all-girls school are confident, competent and accomplished. National studies conclude that students who attend an all-girls school:
     •    Enjoy high academic performance
     •    Perform better in math and science classes
     •    Acquire more leadership skills and experience
     •    Possess more self-confidence and self-esteem
     •    Increase verbal skills
     •    Attend graduate and post-graduate schools in greater numbers
     •    Witness more female leadership role models
     •    Interact more with faculty
     •    Participate more fully within and beyond the classroom
     •    Possess greater academic and personal satisfaction than their co-ed counterparts

 “I loved going to an all-girls school because it maked me feel 100% confident in myself, especially in the classroom.  I was also encouraged to get involved more in extracurricular activities and had so many leadership opportunities.” - Samantha '21

Mercy believes these educational opportunities should be available to all deserving students. As a result, we provide the most tuition assistance per student than any other Omaha area high school. 

We expand access to quality education with our Negotiated Tuition Program that evaluates a family’s unique financial needs. Over 82% of our families benefit from the program, and $1.99 million in tuition assistance was distributed in 2022-2023.
