Learn More About Adrianne Finley Odell

Welcome to Moravian Academy. Thank you for taking this inaugural step to learn more about our community. As the ninth oldest independent school in the nation, we are stewards of an incredible history; however, our focus remains steadfastly on the future. We are dedicated to providing a responsive educational environment that empowers young people to thrive amidst the rapid transformations of our global landscape.

There is much to celebrate at Moravian Academy. From our rigorous academic standards and top-tier athletics to our inspiring arts programs, our campuses are hubs of excellence that offer life-changing opportunities. I am honored to lead an institution that remains grounded in a storied tradition of academic distinction while looking boldly toward the horizon. I believe the ultimate purpose of education is to provide an inspired environment where students acquire a lifelong love of learning through authentic experiences, gain a profound understanding of themselves and others, and cultivate the confidence to make unique, meaningful contributions to the world.

Our mission and vision serve as the cornerstone of our work as we address the societal changes impacting the everyday lives of our students. The competencies required to excel in the coming years extend far beyond the mere acquisition of content. To reach their full potential, young people must learn to innovate, think divergently, and collaborate with other pioneering thinkers to solve the complex challenges of our time. Moravian Academy is poised to serve as a leading institution nationally to foster an educational environment that can help our students achieve just that.

It is a privilege to serve as a school leader during these transformative times. I look forward to welcoming you to our campuses to explore the unique spirit and academic vitality that define the Moravian Academy experience.

With appreciation for your partnership in the education of young people,
Adrianne Finley Odell, Head of School
