International
As part of our commitment to developing students with a growth mindset who are globally ready, Mercy is proud to offer educational opportunities to international students each year. International students help Mercy develop a global perspective within our school as well as fostering cross-cultural competence and diverse viewpoints in our student body.
Mercy’s International program is designed for students who have graduated from secondary schools in their home country. International students at Mercy are welcomed into both our middle school and high school programs. International students are also encouraged to participate in our extracurricular programs, the college planning process, school activities, and sports. Mercy also matches international students with host families in Rochester. Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women is the perfect place to for international students to immerse themselves in American culture and student life!
