Application Process

Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School is still accepting applications for the Class of 2023, please contact the admissions office at 215-646-8815 ext. 306 for further details.  

Transfers and late applicants will take a modified test that will be scheduled on an individual basis with the Admissions Office.

Request the following information from your present school:

• An unofficial copy of your daughter's academic transcript that should include all marks and standardized test scores

• One recommendation from a teacher who knows the applicant especially well and can speak to her academic ability and character

Transfer and late applicants should contact the Admissions Office for copies of our forms. For both 9th grade and transfer applicants, an Admissions decision cannot be made until we have received all materials. 

8th graders (for the Class of 2024) applying to Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School can submit a Financial Aid/Tuition Assistance application beginning August 1. Any prospective student who wishes to be considered for Financial Aid/Tuition Assistance, must submit a completed Financial Aid for School Tuition (FAST) application with all supporting documents.  If the applicant meets this deadline, decisions about financial awards will be communicated before the Confirmation Deadline.

All returning Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School families and transfer students will apply for Financial Aid starting in January, each year.
