Mercy students are part of a more than 90 year tradition of inspiring young women to achieve great things. Here, a girl occupies every role: every seat on student council, every position on a team, every club leadership role.

Whether you are a parent, prospective freshman, transfer student, or just interested in learning more about the school, we invite you to visit Mercy and meet the young women who make this a special place.

Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1931, Mercy High School Burlingame is driven by a clear mission: to provide a rigorous, Catholic education that prepares young women to lead with compassion and strive for excellence.

Spending a shadow day is the best way for you to experience Mercy High School! All applicants are required to participate in a Shadow Day in order to be considered for admission. Please fill out the Inquiry Form to reserve your day.

As a college-preparatory program, Mercy graduates students that go on to succeed in post-secondary education and beyond. Visit our College Acceptances page to explore the kinds of schools our students attend.

Mercy High School, Burlingame is a Catholic, all girls' school where rigorous education is driven by faith, values, and care for the whole student. Set in the historic Kohl Mansion, Mercy nurtures a strong community where students are known and encouraged as individuals, and challenged to understand and pursue their purpose.

At Mercy, students leave knowing they have already begun the networking process that is crucial to their career success. With advocates in the classroom and within the community, Mercy students gain confidence and practical experience that will carry them into their young adult lives.

Our unique programs equip the young women of Mercy to create their own opportunities by instilling listening skills, public speaking skills, self-reliance, appreciation for lifelong learning, creativity, ethics, conflict-resolution and time management skills.

We invite you to get to know Mercy High School by attending our Admissions events! We recognize the importance of offering families opportunities to attend various activities with different perspectives.
