"The mission of Divine Mercy Academy is to partner with parents in their role as primary educators to help students flourish as disciples of Jesus Christ. Through a Catholic liberal arts education, we foster a love for truth, beauty, and goodness. Under the patronage of Our Lady, we aim to form Saints and Scholars to live freely and joyfully in accordance with the truth revealed by God through nature and the Catholic Church."

The primary purpose of this position is to support and form teachers and students in a proper use of classroom technology. St. Ignatius calls us to use created things so "that they may help [us] in prosecuting the end for which [we are] created." In this spirit, to the extent classroom technology enables us to come to know, praise, and serve God, we ought to use it; to the extent it hinders that relationship, we ought to rid ourselves of it.
