Why OLMA

A Tradition of Excellence Since 1962

Families have chosen Our Lady of Mercy Academy for over 60 years because of what sets us apart - exceptional academics, a supportive all-girls environment, inspiring teachers and mentors, and opportunities that empower young women to thrive. At OLMA, students build life-long friendships and are surrounded by faculty members who truly know them, challenge them, and care deeply about their growth and success.

Why All-Girls

At Our Lady of Mercy Academy, girls lead every step of the way. They’re encouraged to explore, grow, and shine not just academically, but socially, spiritually, and emotionally. From clubs and activities to athletic teams and academic electives, OLMA students are involved in every part of school life. Many of these opportunities are student-driven, helping our girls find their voices and the confidence to use them to make a difference.

If you’re new to single-gender education, the benefits of an all-girls school might surprise you - in the best way! Research shows that girls in all-girls environments develop stronger confidence, take more leadership roles, and perform at higher academic levels. At OLMA, that research comes to life every single day.

Here, our students are seen, supported, and challenged to become the very best version of themselves—without distractions, without limits. 

We are proud members of the International Coalition of Girls’ Schools (ICGS), the leading global advocate for girls’ education. The stories and data from ICGS confirm what we already know: when girls are empowered, they soar. And at OLMA, they soar together.

Prepared for What's Next

By the time graduation arrives, OLMA students leave as confident, self-aware young women - ready to speak up, step forward, and lead a world of change. We take pride in knowing that the time spent here, in our faith-based, all-girls environment, is a powerful part of what shapes who they become.
