Company Profile

Company Description:

Rooted in the Catholic faith and charism of Mercy, Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School educates, inspiures and empowers young women to be merciful in spirit, innovative in thought and courageous in leadership.

Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School, founded in 1861, an independent Catholic college preparatory school for young women, is part of a long and rich history of education. While it is a member of a global network of schools, Mercy Education System of the Americas, the school’s roots are steeped in the educational ministry of Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy. A visionary leader, Catherine McAuley was keenly aware that education is the key to empowering women to make a difference in the world and affect social change. This belief continues to inspire the core mission of Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School as it nurtures highly competent and deeply compassionate leaders ready to serve the needs of a twenty-first century world.

Preparing students for this important role necessitates the promotion of academic excellence in an environment that fosters the development of the whole person; spiritually, intellectually, physically, and emotionally. A complex, ever-changing, and diverse world requires educational programs at various levels (co-curricular and extra-curricular) which educate, inspire and empower each young woman to think critically, to act with compassion, and to recognize, affirm and respect both her unique abilities and talents as well as the talents and abilities of each and every person.

Joining Gwynedd Mercy Academy means joining a team of compassionate and innovative leaders, guided by faith and inspired by the kindness, merciful spirit and potential of our student body. We strive to create an educational community that values diversity in thought, opinion, race, ethncity, religion, class, ability and gender. We work with intention to ensure that everyone is welcome and included. We invite you to belong!
