The faculty and staff at Moravian Academy's Merle-Smith Campus (9-12) invite your family to join us for an in-person open house event! The distinctive college-like atmosphere of our Merle-Smith Campus provides a setting in which students pursue their own interests, talents, ambitions, and leadership capacities. Guided and inspired by expert faculty members, you engage in complex cooperative projects and advanced independent research. You celebrate beloved traditions and further develop personal passions and curiosities, stretching beyond your comfort zone to explore academics, the arts, athletics, affinity groups or all of them at once. As you increasingly take charge of your education, you graduate ready to excel in the college and future of your choice.
At this event, you will get to interact directly with faculty, staff and our students. An opportunity for Q&A will be available. The event will also highlight the admissions process and how to apply for financial aid. This session is expected to run no longer than 90 minutes.
