Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School

Our Lady of Mercy Catholic School (OLM) has been educating students of all faiths from K through 8th Grade since 1957. The 5-star Preschool opened its doors in 2006. From its humble beginnings to its current home in Winston Salem, OLM is proud to be celebrating 60 years of rich tradition coupled with academic excellence based on strong faith and core values.

Today, OLM continues to focus on small class sizes, developing and honoring each student spiritually and intellectually. Each child, in its diverse student body, is invited to live and serve as a respectful and responsible citizen.

Even though OLM has grown to be a formidable educational facility, nationally recognized as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, it is still somewhat of a “hidden gem.” Having moved into the former Bishop McGuinness High School building in 2002, OLM boasts high school level amenities and an excellent environment for elementary and middle school students.  Come visit this hidden gem and see firsthand the Mercy difference. Be sure to ask them about financial assistance options.
