Moravian Academy, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in the United States, is a prekindergarten through 12th grade coeducational college preparatory school.

Moravian Academy traces its origins to the Moravians, who settled Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1741. The Academy descends from the first school for girls founded in the American colonies in 1742. It is the ninth oldest independent school in the United States.

While it has a strong religious background, Moravian Academy is now considered to be somewhat secular, with only non-denominational weekly chapel services for students.

School accomplishments

In 2006, Moravian Academy took second place in Pennsylvania's Scholastic Scrimmage, losing to Allentown Central Catholic High School in the finals.

Although a recent survey shows that students dislike the chapel services, but chapel directors insists that chapel is still important for the "Moravian Triangle"
