At Gwynedd-Mercy College we believe:
That education is a life-long process that enriches the intellectual, moral and spiritual life of the individual and prepares him/her for an active role in society. That a solid liberal arts foundation is the best preparation for life and work. That the cultivation of compassion, intellectual inquiry, and dedication to truth, mercy and justice is essential in improving the human condition. That education is a process of transforming oneself and society. That individual attention in a caring environment promotes learning.
