DescAn independent college-preparatory school in south-central Pennsylvania, the Academy offers a rigorous academic program to approximately 430 boarding and day students in grades 9 through 12. In small classes, students and faculty work eye to eye and mind to mind, as they deepen their understanding of their subjects-and of themselves. Outside the classroom, students immerse themselves in theater, sports, music, competitions, and camaraderie. They develop deep friendships with students from next door and from across the world. They explore new concepts and push past their limits. Mercersburg is a place of transformation. Students transform themselves-as they prepare to transform their world.Desc

Part III, Line 4:Mercersburg's fine arts and valuable items collections include, but are not limited to, paintings, etchings, pictures, tapestries, stained glass windows, antiquities and other works of art (i.e. valuable rugs, sculptures, bronzes, antique furniture, rare books, historical letters, antique silver, manuscripts, rare glass) of rarity, historical value, and/or artistic merit. Art not only provides aesthetic appreciation and enjoyment, it also has the power to stimulate creative thinking and discussion. We attempt to integrate art into the lives of people, inspiring reflection and generating historical and cultural awareness. Some pieces of Mercersburg's collection are permanently on display throughout the school, others are periodically placed on exhibit to the school community and the general public.
Part V, Line 4:The purpose of the Endowment is to support the current operations and activities of the Academy through a total return investment strategy and a spending policy set to maintain, or ideally increase, the purchasing power of the Endowment, without putting the principal value of the Endowment's investments at imprudent risk.
Part X, Line 2:Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c)(3), and the applicable income tax regulations of Pennsylvania, Mercersburg is exempt from taxes on income other than unrelated business income. Since Mercersburg had no material unrelated business income during the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no provision for income taxes has been made. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Mercersburg may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes and accounting in interim periods. Mercersburg had no such positions recorded in the financial statements at June 30, 2017 and 2016. Generally, Mercersburg is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax positions by tax authorities for years before 2014.
