14 graduates made definitive commitments through Early Decision and Early Decision II, reflecting strong alignment between student interests and institutional fit.
19 students successfully navigated Regular Decision, Priority Deadline, and Rolling Admission pathways to find colleges and universities that matched their academic, personal, and professional ambitions.
This thoughtful approach to the college process reflects the independence, self-advocacy, and maturity nurtured through Moravian Academy's commitment to student-driven inquiry and personalized learning.
At Moravian Academy, students are encouraged to cross disciplines and ask big questions. This year’s collegiate choices mirror that commitment to high-level discovery:
