Academics on the Merle-Smith Campus


Fostering Unique Potential in Grades 9-12

Empowering students to become limitless learners
prepared to meet the future with confidence.

In our rigorous academic program, students on the Merle-Smith Campus (Grades 9-12) are encouraged to unearth complex meaning and solve difficult problems. The goal is for students to learn how to learn, building the skills, judgment, grit, and self-motivation to reach their potential and keep on going. Throughout their years at the Upper School, students become experienced, self-directed learners. With guidance from college counselors, seniors take ownership of their college search, gain admission to excellent right-fit institutions, and are well prepared for the academic challenges they meet there.

CURRICULUM THAT INSPIRES STUDENTS

My experience at Moravian—the intensity of the courses and the culture fostered there—has led me to where I am now: a senior designer for Snapchat. Moravian taught me to follow my curiosity, to constantly learn, and strive to become an expert in whatever subject I’m pursuing. -ALUMNUS
