MERLE-SMITH
CAMPUS

Welcome to the Merle-Smith Campus

Grades 9-12

At our beautiful 120-acre Merle-Smith Campus, located in Bethlehem Township, PA, our Upper School students receive a highly personal educational experience. Students work with their advisor, with whom they remain all four years, the Academic Dean, and the College Counseling office,  to shape an individualized plan of study, combining academic and co-curricular choices into a program that uniquely reflects their individual interests and goals.

Independent Research

A signature experience at Moravian and a transformative one for students, the Comenius Project pays tribute to the Moravian scholar who inspired the school’s founders in 1742.

Athletics

Our no-cut policy encourages students to try a variety of sports and most years, 80% of the student body joins at least one athletic team.

The Power and Joy of Music

From the experimentation and innovation of our Technical Crews to the perseverance and creativity of our performers who craft works onstage, the Upper School is a place for students to shine.
