My granddaughter wanted to attend MMA since 5th grade. Well dreams do come true she made it happen. MMA is one of the best educational decisions we made. Wonderful involved teachers and staff. Many different activities and clubs for the girls to choose from. The one thing I would like to see is the students lower the length of their kilts, it would look more professional.

Merion has been a great home for my two daughters. Both thrived academically and in their respective activities. The faculty and staff truly care about their success and well-being. I'm looking forward to my youngest attending there soon too!

Terrible. I only stayed for two years because my experience was so horrible. When I first arrived at Merion I was excited and motivated. I was there on a full scholarship. But my time there was literally depressing. The staff and students were so racist that I needed therapy by the time I left.

Our daughter is a freshman at MMA and she just loves it! She comes home everyday and tells me how much she loves her school and all the new friends she has made. I would recommend this school to any girl who wants to be prepared for college. I love the staff and the kindness of the Sisters of Mercy...
