“I continue to use the values I was taught at Waldron in my everyday life. When I visit Waldron Mercy, it’s like coming home.”

"We believe Waldron Mercy serves as an extension of the beliefs and values that we teach in our home. We continue to support Waldron Mercy in its mission to develop well-rounded students in an academically-challenging environment within a faith-based community."

"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."

"To instruct is an easy matter, but to educate requires ingenuity, energy, and perseverance without end."
- Frances Warde, Sister of Mercy
Waldron Mercy Academy is a member of Mercy Education. Our faculty and staff have the unique opportunity to share and learn from fellow Mercy educators throughout the world. Mercy Education is international, spanning six countries : Argentina, Belize, Honduras, Jamaica, the Phillippines, and the United States.
Mercy education finds its roots with Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland in 1827. It was opened as a school for poor young girls and shortly thereafter began serving the sick and less fortunate.
THE MERCY CORE VALUES
A JOURNEY OF STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
Our Profile of the Graduate is how students come to manifest and embody our Core Values. It’s the culmination of everything a Mercy Education hopes to achieve. Throughout the student’s journey, this blueprint defines the attributes they’re expected to acquire and the steps they’ll take to gain them.
THE 5 CRITICAL CONCERNS
Mercy schools educate students on the five Critical Concerns chosen by the Sisters of Mercy. Students address these concerns through prayer, attention to personal, communal and institutional choices; education; advocacy with legislators and other government leaders; and corporate engagement.
