Mercymount Country Day School, a private Catholic elementary school (preschool through 8th grade) sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas (RSM), is dedicated to the total education of the child on all levels: spiritual, intellectual, physical and psycho-social. To this end, the administration, faculty and staff assist the parents who are the prime educators of their children.

The school aims to foster a sense of personal worth and appreciation of the worth of others. This basic principle of Jesus Christ flows from oral Tradition and Sacred Scripture itself. The Sisters of Mercy historically have encouraged each person to the call of Jesus to love oneself and others, to be the best one can be with the gifts, talents and grace provided and to give generously of him/herself to the less fortunate. In the warm and caring environment of the school community, Mercymount students are formed for the 21st Century and for life!

A Mercymount education is synonymous with quality private education at an affordable price. The school's waiting list attests to the fact of its reputation for excellence. Today with our nineteen classrooms, a gymnasium, a library, and art, music, computer, and resource rooms, we are considered a showcase of learning. Two playground areas for children, four outdoor basketball hoops, and a parking lot for 112 cars complete the school property.  We are also currently building an addition which will house a new computer lab and classroom, a media center, new art and music classrooms, 3 kindergarten classes, a preschool classroom and new administrative offices.

The student body is coeducational and made up of various ethnic groups.  Mercymount admits students regardless of any race, color, sex, religion, national or ethnic origin.

The administration, faculty and staff number 40 people; which consists of 33 lay men and women and 7 religious men and women.
