School Notes Overview:

Mercy Montessori Center is Catholic School modelled on two fundamental principles: the educational philosophy of the Sisters of Mercy, region of Cincinnati, and that of the Montessori Method of Education.

The school, through its student body, reflects a microcosm of society. It accepts and respects each child as an individual, unique in his/her own religious beliefs, race and cultural heritage as well as intellectual and physical capabilities.
