Our Admissions Process

We're delighted that you are considering Our Lady of Mercy Academy! We welcome the opportunity to share with you what we believe makes Mercy an exceptional high school learning community. The admissions process is really about getting to know each other and discovering if Mercy is the right place for you. This is a process for you to come to know our school, and to decide if Mercy Academy offers the kind of experience of which you and your family will want to become a part.

We want to help in any way that we can with your decision. If you have any questions, please contact Megan Amundson, Director of Admissions, at 603/352-2720 x213 or via email at admissions@mercyacademykeene.org.

2025-2026 School Year
Admissions are open for the 2025-2026 school year. Space is very limited for each class, so we strongly encourage students to apply as early as possible to secure their spot.

Our process:

1. CLICK HERE to complete our Initial Inquiry form. We are happy to answer any questions that you may have and /or schedule a meeting and school tour.

2. Our Director of Admissions, Megan Amundson, will be in contact with you via phone or email.

3. Complete all parts of the online application, including a $20 application fee, teacher recommendation information (English/Math teachers), release of records, and essay.

4. A tour of the school will be scheduled. Please note that school tours are available Monday through Friday 9:00am-2:00pm when school is in session. It is important that prospective families experience our school community in action when our students/faculty are present to fully observe the joy and vibrancy of OLMA. If you are traveling from out-of-town to visit the school or it is the summer, we will make every effort to accommodate your schedule.

5. We require a shadow day for all prospective students. Our Director of Admissions will work with your family to find a suitable day. Prospective students will be paired up with one of our current students in the same grade to serve as a guide and ambassador throughout the day. Shadow days are valuable as they give both students and parents an accurate, firsthand experience at OLMA. It is an opportunity for students to meet the teachers, interact with classmates, observe how classes are taught, and engage directly with our school community. Included during the shadow day will be a brief interview of the prospective student with the Dean of Students and Principal.

6. Once all materials are received, the file will be reviewed and if appropriate, an acceptance letter will be sent.

7. Families have two weeks upon receipt of the acceptance letter to pay the registration fee ($250) and complete enrollment forms online to secure their spot in the class.

8. Apply for financial assistance, if interested/eligible. Please CLICK HERE for details.
