Prospective Moravian Academy families are invited to join the admissions team for an overview of all three of MA’s beautiful campuses. Diving deep into our mission, vision and core values, families will leave with a sense of who we are and how we can be partners in your child(ren)’s education from entry through 12th grade. This is a great overview for families who may not know which campus to choose (Swain or Historic Downtown), and how we unite our communities together at the high school level on our Merle-Smith Campus. We will highlight how an independent school education sets itself apart from other options in the Lehigh Valley including our outstanding curriculum, top tier faculty, Signature Programming, and commitment to Athletics and the Arts & Sciences. At these sessions, you will get to interact directly with students and hear about their experiences. An opportunity for Q&A will be available at the end of the night. This session is expected to run no longer than one hour.
Join the Director of Enrollment Management and Assistant Director of Enrollment Management to discuss how to pay for a Moravian Academy education.
