Such a precious school, full of administration and teachers who truly feel called to be here. Our children have felt loved, seen, safe, and challenged. DMA truly lives up to its name, full of mercy and compassion for the children that come in. Its highest call is to pass along sincere and devoted faith; the teachers aim to live that out every day. Specifically, we have seen our kids grow in their faith, in their academics and in their friendships. We have felt supported by the school in helping us raise up our children to be thinking for themselves, full of love for God, others and themselves.

The absolute best truly Catholic school we have ever encountered.

Divine Mercy Academy is a great school! It has been wonderful to witness the spiritual, social, and academic growth that my children have had during this year, which is our first year at DMA. The teachers and administrators are wonderful, and they are truly invested in the children and the school goal of helping to make the students saints and scholars. My wife and I love DMA's Catholic and Classical model, and I especially appreciate the strong Catholic identity and values that DMA places at its center. Our kids have made great friends; learned - and grasped! - things that are academically challenging; been exposed to and have gained an appreciation for art and music that is true, good, and beautiful; and have learned much about Christianity and the Catholic faith. Having our kids at DMA has been a blessing for our family: we (as parents) have made great friends, and we have the peace of mind of knowing that our children are being formed in the faith every day at school. I highly recommend Divine Mercy Academy!
