"Waldron is a second home to me. Many of my fondest memories and lifelong friends were made at Merion and then Waldron Mercy Academy. Waldron gave me so much and I’m happy to give back so others may experience the Mercy tradition. That tradition of compassion, kindness and friendship inspire me every day."

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Upper school students attending the Haverford Middle School Diversity Conference in 2024.
“Waldron Mercy Academy, a Catholic School sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, is a diverse, faith community rooted in the gospel values of mercy and justice. We are a school where the joy of discovery inspires serious study, social responsibility, and strong faith."
Embedded within the mission of Waldron Mercy Academy lies our commitment to the creation of a school in which all people are welcomed and celebrated. We are committed to educating the diverse community that lives in the Greater Philadelphia area. Our doors are open to students of all genders, abilities, races and ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses. Though we are a Catholic school, we welcome students of all religious backgrounds.
Our Board of Trustees’ Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Committee works to support our Mission by assuring that the entirety of the school’s policies, procedures and operations recognize and reverence the dignity and uniqueness of every individual who touches or is a part of our diverse community. This Committee works with Waldron Mercy to host events every year that further the establishment and growth of harmonious and equitable relationships in our community. The committee is comprised of members of the Board of Trustees, current parents, alumni, and staff.
What are we working on?
In September, Mr. Brandon Jacobs met with students in grades one through eight to facilitate conversations around the idea of belonging. The students were asked to think about their unique qualities and where they most feel a sense of belonging. They were asked to name the ways that we each help to create a school environment in which everyone knows they belong, just as they are. Faculty and staff will continue this work in the classrooms with the students and at PD.
