Academics

Our Lady of Mercy Regional Catholic School offers a highly-respected program of academic excellence that is developmentally appropriate, data-driven and research-based; is accredited through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools; and is enhanced for all grades K-8 with the latest technology, fine arts, physical/health education, library, Spanish, Honors Math Program, and a well-equipped science lab which encourages active learning.

Our curriculum follows the standards set by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia which meet or exceed Pennsylvania State Standards. Curriculum may be defined as “all guided experience of the student under the direction of the school.” Includes all subjects as well as academic development: student’s physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional growth. OLM wants to help students form the right understandings, attitudes and habits not only in connection with subject matter, but also in each and every school experience.
