“We believe a school for girls is better than a school Mercy High School with girls.” – International Coalition of Girls’ School
At Mercy High School in Burlingame, we don’t just educate; we inspire, empower, and elevate young women. We are more than a school- we are a vibrant community where each student is celebrated as a unique individual.
Our alumnae include a Congresswoman, NASA engineers, Olympians, entrepreneurs, lawyers, healthcare providers, educators, artists, and devoted mothers. In our nurturing environment, students discover their voices, ignite passions, build lifelong connections, and chart their own destinies.
Mercy’s Pathways Program, established in 2022, empowers girls to explore passions through curriculum, leadership, and mentorship. Focusing on fields traditionally dominated by men, it provides hands-on, risk-taking environments. Mercy students transform into leaders, innovators, and changemakers.
Our innovative math program, launched in the 2024-2025 school year, personalizes learning across Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trigonometry. By allowing self-paced study and individualized support, students build confidence and meet challenges. Tailored academic plans ensure they thrive, closing gaps and preparing them for college and career success.
Mercy’s new Wellness Center offers students a dedicated space to unwind, recharge, and focus on mental well-being, fostering a balanced and supportive environment for overall health and success. This new multi-room space helps to send the message that mental health is a priority and each young woman is seen as more than just a student.
