AN ENRICHING, ENVELOPING TRADITION

The Historic Downtown Campus holds weekly Chapel services in a building where George Washington, Ben Franklin, John Adams, and others once worshipped. Together, we pray, sing, reflect, and celebrate. We also explore a wide range of religious and cultural traditions, helping your child become an adept, insightful, and ethical world citizen.

Through programs written, performed, and produced by Lower and Middle School students, the Moravian Academy Broadcasting Company (MABC) covers all aspects of life and learning at MA. MABC celebrates Historic Downtown students' many accomplishments while instilling important public speaking skills.
