Overall I've had such a positive experience at Merion. I have made lifelong friends and been immersed in sisterhood. Additionally the academic guidance and support has prepared me for college in ways that my friends from other schools have told me they wish they had.

Best decision we made for our daughter. She came from a strong public school, however, the education she is receiving at MMA it first class. She is 100% prepared for college.

A great community of people who are all very dedicated to their educations. Not always perfect but out of the all-girls schools in the area, Merion is probably the best. Always looking to improve and expand their resources.

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...
