Our Lady Of Mercy Academy

My wife and I are the proud parents of 2 OLMA graduates and 1 current Sophomore at OLMA. All three of our girls went to public school from K-8 and we wanted to explore other options for our girls when it came to high school. We visited many faith-based schools as well as some vocational/technical schools. While there was some trepidation initially from our girls about going to an all-girls school our daughters would wholeheartedly endorse OLMA as a great institution of learning. They found it to be an environment that fosters learning support, for finding your voice, and for embracing changes and the challenges that come with them. Most importantly our girls learned accountability, service over self, empathy, and how to become a better human being! You won't find a better school for your daughter and the investment was paid back exponentially in college grants/scholarships that they earned as well as the students/young ladies they've become. The faculty and executive staff will know your girls, will help them, support them, and will be terrific role models for your children to emulate! From the office administrator to the head of the school the culture is one of respect and caring for everyone that walks through the doors!

Such a wonderful place. Prepared me for college and what to expect after. Highly recommend!!

As a mother of four daughters and a graduate of an all-girls academy myself, I was thrilled when I went to the 2017 OLMA Open House. We had found the school in which our children would be educated in a challenging, nurturing, and faith-based environment. Fast forward to 2024, and we have two alumnae, a junior, and an incoming freshman. OLMA has been an estuary where personal growth, curiosity, accountability, leadership, and community service are cultivated on a daily basis. We are so grateful for the talented and dedicated teachers, staff, and Mrs. Coyle; it's obvious that they truly care about these young ladies. My daughters have made lifelong friends, and my husband and I have grown close with those parents as well. OLMA really does give that family feel. It should also be known that my girls were very well prepared for college. They applied and were accepted into competitive universities, and received numerous merit scholarships. I recommend researching where OLMA students have gone to college in recent years, and you will be amazed. OLMA adds new AP and honors courses every year so that students can work to their full potential. Each year at OLMA has brought exciting changes too. They are constantly upgrading the programming, facilities, and academics. Check out "Vision 2025" on the website and you will see what lies in store for OLMA students. The future is bright at OLMA. I highly encourage a visit!

From a parent's perspective, OLMA checked all my boxes. I did not want my daughter to be a number. OLMA offers small class sizes, extremely dedicated educators, outstanding parent/school communication, fantastic offerings in sports, community service opportunities, mass, college preparation, women empowerment, and a sense of belonging. Once you walk through those doors, you become part of a family. A family that wants you to be successful. My daughter is thriving in school! She has made new friends, is playing sports she has never tried before and looks forward to going to school each day. OLMA is laying the foundation for a successful future for my child. What more can a parent ask for?

I am a 1999 graduate of OLMA. I hold a BA and MA from Stockton University. I started college with credits acrued during my tenure at OLMA and I attribute my success at Stockton to skills aquired as a student of OLMA. I enjoyed playing Soccer in a competitive league, clubs and extracurricular events. The personal relationships I built while at OLMA with students, faculty and alumnae have continued into my adulthood. OLMA is a great environment for a young woman to get to know herself and prepare for her life ahead.

I graduated from OLMA with 26 sisters in 1997. I went on to Cabrini University for my undergraduate degree and the Richard Stockton College for my Masters in Occupational Therapy. I treat patients in a skilled nursing home and in their homes. My first year of college was a breeze. OLMA had me working at a college level before I got there. OLMA prepared me even more so for life! These days, the news is flooded with women`s marches and women empowerment. I received this empowerment years ago from this incredible school. I`ve held numerous management positions and now balance a beautiful family and work life. I carry my values and knowledge learned as an OLMA girl with pride and it impacts all that I do. I live far away now, but every few years I like to attend a Mass or event at the school and it is always like coming home

I went to OLMA from 2003-2007 and it truly helped shape me into a college-ready, strong young woman. I used to present at open houses as a student and would always say how at OLMA, the valedictorian is a woman, the star athletes are women, the presidents of clubs and orgs are women, and this allowed us to truly thrive in a way that no where else would. As a class we experienced loss and success in a way that truly left a mark on who we all were, and we can thank OLMA for that. We were so supported in a caring, challenging environment that leaves me with so many amazing memories. I now work at a university in Philadelphia, and the women I see attending college here that graduated from OLMA continue to be some of the greatest students on our campus year to year. I am so glad that my parents allowed me to attend OLMA, it made the transition to college smooth and prepared me to become the strong, academically-ready young adult that I needed to be.
