Celebrating the Class of 2026
As the 76 graduates of the Class of 2026 prepare to turn the page to their next chapter, their collegiate choices reflect a deep alignment between individual passion and world-class scholarship. Driven by a forward-thinking curriculum that encourages students to discover who they are and who they can become, these lifelong learners are stepping into the world ready to lead and innovate.
The journey of the Class of 2026 is defined by a remarkable degree of focus and self-awareness. Demonstrating strong initiative and clarity of vision, an overwhelming 83% of the graduating class proactively secured their collegiate destinations through early admission pathways.
- 46 students utilized Early Action pathways.
- 3 students successfully matched via Restrictive Early Action.
- 14 graduates made definitive commitments through Early Decision I and II.
- The remaining members of the class balanced strategy and clarity to find their ideal intellectual homes through Regular Decision, Priority, and Rolling timelines.
This collective drive highlights the independence and maturity nurtured through Moravian Academy’s emphasis on student-driven inquiry.
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:
- Tier 1 Research Hubs: More than half of the graduating class—61%, or 46 students—will matriculate into R1 Research Institutions, where they will engage in premier undergraduate research and hands-on innovation.
- Highly Competitive Placements: The class earned distinct placements at 4 Ivy League institutions and 9 Big Ten universities.
- STEM & Innovation: Recognizing the vital role of technological literacy in a changing world, 5 graduates have chosen to immerse themselves in specialized, highly selective STEM and technology-focused institutions.
- Global Perspectives: True to Moravian Academy's mission of cultivating inclusive global citizens, 3 graduates are taking an exciting leap across borders to pursue their degrees at international universities.
- Athletic Excellence: Demonstrating exceptional leadership, dedication, and teamwork, 3 student-athletes have officially committed to continue their sports careers at the collegiate level, bringing their talents to next-level competition.
The geographic distribution of the Class of 2026 beautifully illustrates a balance between local stewardship and broad ambition. While a strong cohort of 29 graduates will remain in the Commonwealth to enrich and lead within Pennsylvania’s premier institutions, 44 students are embracing a spirit of adventure by heading out of state, carrying the Moravian Academy spirit to new communities across the country.
As the Class of 2026 joins our alumni network, they leave behind a proud legacy of academic ambition, kindness, and integrity. They depart not just with an impressive list of destinations, but with the internal motivation, clarity, and purpose needed to make a meaningful impact on the world.
