Our Philosophy

The athletics and physical education programs are an integral part of the Moravian Academy experience. We expect students to be knowledgeable about and committed to maintaining a sound, healthy body, and to develop physical skills that will permit them to enjoy competitive sports. The program provides the opportunity to improve skills, build confidence, learn teamwork, practice good sportsmanship and enjoy healthy competition.

High levels of participation are valued and encouraged by both students and coaches. In any given year 80% of the student body joins at least one athletic team. As long as facilities permit, no students are cut from teams. No matter the sport, a commitment to teamwork, ethical sportsmanship, and sound conditioning methods are valued beyond the tally of wins and losses.

In Health and Physical Education class we educate students on mental, physical, and emotional health tying back to our mission of promoting the child's full development in mind, body, and spirit.

Athletic Training

Moravian Academy has partnered with St. Luke’s Hospital to provide two professional, certified athletic trainers who are available during contests and practices to attend to the physical condition of athletes. The athletic trainers are responsible for all preventative measures such as taping or wrapping athletes. When an injury occurs, the athletic trainers make a diagnosis on the field and determines whether an athlete can continue play or should be seeking further evaluation for the injury. When an athlete is injured, the trainers will provide a rehabilitation program and determine when the athlete may return to practice or gameplay.
