Welcome to Our Lady of Mercy School
Tomorrow's
Hope!

Our Lady of Mercy School is a parochial school serving over 600 Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students in the Hicksville, Plainview, Bethpage, and surrounding Long Island communities.

Our Lady of Mercy School combines the proven comprehensive curriculum and methods of a successful tradition with modern educational and technological advances to provide its students with a strong qualitative educational experience.

Our Philosophy
We believe that each child is :
  • unique
  • a creative and responsible person with individual abilities, experiences and needs.
  • a person who grows and learns through interaction with others.
  • a person who is influenced by home, school and community.
  • a person who will mature in a society in which attitudes toward Christian values are constantly changing and being challenged.

Our Goals

  • to develop in each child an understanding of his or her responsibility to develop to the fullest his/her God-given talents and make constructive use of them for the betterment of society.
  • to instill in each child an understanding that his/her relationship with God is fulfilled through relationships with other people.
  • to have each child put these understandings into practice within an environment which stimulates self-motivation for moral perfection, academic proficiency, responsible citizenship, economic competency and cultural development.

Guided by the Education Departments of the Diocese of Rockville Centre and the State of New York, the administration and faculty continually assess and implement current educational policies and standards. Consequently the philosophy of Our Lady of Mercy School continues to evolve and be subject to revisions when necessary.
