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.
