Divine Mercy College aims to bring education and faith together in partnership with the family, church, and the school community. We aim to provide a quality Catholic education focused on the core values of faith, academics, service, and personal development from preschool and throughout high school to influence a rapidly changing world. Please encourage students to attain the beliefs, values, attitudes, knowledge, skills, and practices which will enable them to achieve their full potential as human persons. The College community's concern will be students' integrated development as Catholic men and women – as responsible, inner-directed individuals of Catholic virtue, capable of free choice and making value judgments enlightened by a formed conscience that follows Jesus. Ensure that the care and development of each person take place within the Catholic faith community. Students should see Catholic values actively lived in the school rather than merely spoken of and experience them insincere interpersonal relationships. Seek to empower students to achieve their potential as our gift to God. In school, the students will be encouraged to learn and respect others' right to learn. The school will also give the students every opportunity to experience the consequence of their actions.
