Our Mission
The mission of Our Lady of Mercy Academy is to
empower students to grow
as informed, inspired, compassionate souls.
We are guided by our philosophy and values as follows.
We believe in Catholic Education that is centered in the Spirit
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
We believe that our heritage in the Monadnock region gives us
a faith-filled view of our school, of life, and of our mission.
We believe that together, the Saint Joseph Regional School and
Our Lady of Mercy Academy communities of parents, students,
and teachers share a common vision---one formed by the
compassionate message of the Gospel. We affirm the values of
high academic standards, responsibility, service, community,
and worship.

talents to the fullest.
