"To instruct is an easy matter, but to educate requires ingenuity, energy, and perseverance without end."

 

- Frances Warde, Sister of Mercy

Waldron Mercy Academy is a member of Mercy Education. Our faculty and staff have the unique opportunity to share and learn from fellow Mercy educators throughout the world. Mercy Education is international, spanning six countries : Argentina, Belize, Honduras, Jamaica, the Phillippines, and the United States. ​

 

Mercy education finds its roots with Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who opened the first House of Mercy on Baggot Street in Dublin, Ireland in 1827. It was opened as a school for poor young girls and shortly thereafter began serving the sick and less fortunate.
