ADMISSIONS

Your first step on a wondrous learning journey
Welcome! We’re delighted you’re considering Moravian Academy for your child.

When you’re selecting a school, there are many factors you’ll want to investigate carefully: What is this school’s academic philosophy? Will my child be challenged and supported at the right levels and at the right times? How does the program build values and character as well as subject-matter mastery? Will my child be fully prepared, academically and personally, for their next steps? What is the community like? And—perhaps most important—will my child be happy here?
As you explore our website, you may be considering the unique opportunities that our two distinct preschool-8th-grade programs on the Swain and Historic Downtown Campuses have to offer. You may be intrigued by our Upper School on the Merle-Smith Campus, which is intentionally similar to a college campus and experience. Whatever your goals, hopes, questions, or concerns, our admissions team is ready and eager to think them through with you.
At Moravian Academy, we know and love every student as a unique individual—and that goes for families, too. We’re here to help you make the choice that fits your child and your family best.
Please feel free to peruse our academic programs, talk to a current parent, and meet some recent alumni. We invite you to contact us for more information, and even better, schedule a tour, so we can meet you and your child in person. We would love to show you all the amazing opportunities students have on all three campuses!
"The common thread among Moravian Academy students is that their families all deeply value education. You see it immediately in the students’ daily interactions with their classmates and with us. They really care about learning."

    Virtual All-School Info Session

    Prospective Moravian Academy families are invited to join the admissions team for an overview of all three of MA's beautiful campuses. Diving deep into our mission, vision and core values, families will leave with a sense of who we are and how we can be partners in your children's education from your entry until 12th grade. This is a great overview for families who may not know which campus to choose from (Swain or Historic Downtown), and how we unite our communities together at the high school level on our Merle-Smith Campus.

    We will highlight how an independent school education sets itself apart from other options in the Lehigh Valley including our outstanding curriculum, top tier faculty, Signature Programming, and commitment to Athletics and the Arts & Sciences.

    At these sessions, you will get to interact directly with students and hear about their experiences. An opportunity for Q&A will be available at the end of the night. This session is expected to run no longer than one hour.
