What are the religion requirements at Moravian Academy?
There is a weekly chapel service, which is non-denominational in nature
and is not doctrinally based. Students participate in the preparation
of these services. In addition, seniors are required to complete a semester
course in Comparative World Religions or Ethics.
Are uniforms required?
Uniforms are not required. However, the Upper
School does have a dress code. Boys are required to wear dress shirts
and ties or turtlenecks. Girls may wear dresses, sweaters and skirts,
or slacks. Neither jeans nor t-shirts are
permitted in standard dress code.
What is the size of typical classes at the upper school?
Average classes range in size between 12 and 18 students in a section.
What is the most important factor that is considered when making a
decision to admit or deny a student?
The decision is not based on a single factor.
The Upper School Admissions Committee reviews current
grades and achievement, standardized test results,
teacher recommendations, and an interview. If any one of these factors has an edge, it would be
the level of academic performance in current classes.
How is student progress monitored and communicated to the parent?
Reports from the school occur twice each marking period for a total of
eight times during the school year, with a written commentary at mid-quarter
and grades at the end of the quarter. If classroom teachers see
major problems
between these reports, they contact the parents. Parents may contact the
school at any time if they have any concerns.
