Immersive and Empowering Learning
Explore. Challenge. Excel.
At Moravian Academy’s Merle-Smith Campus, Upper School students pursue rigorous, inspiring academics while collaborating to solve complex, real-world challenges. Curiosity drives learning, and every student is empowered to step confidently into the future.
From the first day of ninth grade, students embark on a journey designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and prepare them for life beyond school. Individualized college counseling begins early, helping students explore possibilities, uncover passions, and identify best-fit schools both locally and globally.
Learning at Moravian Academy knows no bounds. Students can build robots, dissect cadavers, or travel the world—all within a supportive, challenging environment that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership grounded in integrity.
Through signature programs, interdisciplinary research, and hands-on experiences, students graduate not only prepared for college but empowered to make a meaningful impact in the world.
