Why Lauralton Hall?
The Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, Lauralton Hall educates young women in grades 9-12. Established in 1905 by the Sisters of Mercy, Lauralton is a Catholic independent school inspired by Mercy tradition. We know for a fact, based on more than a century of experience, that young women thrive in an all-girls school environment.
Our graduates have gone on to continue their education at the world's most prestigious schools.
We are Lauralton.
"
At Lauralton, all of the young women here are bonded together in a sisterhood that supports each other every step of the way. I am not only academically challenged every day, but I am also surrounded by loving teachers and peers that help me grow as a person and a leader to my highest potential. Lauralton is a welcoming and merciful community like no other!
"
“The opportunities and challenges push you to be the best person you can be academically, actively, and mentally.”
