ADMISSIONS POLICIES
Roman
Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of
New York base their educational purpose
and all their activities on the
Christian teaching of the essential
equality of all persons as rooted in
God’s love.
Thus, with discrimination so repugnant
to their nature and mission, Catholic
Schools in this Archdiocese do not
discriminate on the basis of race,
color, national and ethnic origin, and
gender in administration of educational
policies, admission policies,
scholarship and loan programs, and
athletic and other school administered
programs.
This policy is subscribed to by all
Catholic elementary and secondary
schools in the Archdiocese of New York
whether owned or operated by the
Archdiocese, the parishes of the
Archdiocese or religious communities
with the Archdiocese.
The process for admission to Our Lady of
Mercy School is: parents must complete
the school application form and provide
all required documents. Following an
interview and evaluation of the
materials, the parent will be notified
about the status of the child.
Our Lady of Mercy School gives
preference in admission first, to
siblings of currently enrolled students;
second, to Catholic students whose
parents are active members of the
parish; third, to Catholic students
whose parents are active in another
Catholic parish; fourth, to non-Catholic
students.
