The Comenius Independent Study Program is named for John Amos Comenius, the 17th Century Moravian educator, philosopher, and writer who is often called “the father of modern education.” The program is designed to support students who choose to pursue an area of study that goes beyond our school curriculum.
The fourth-year courses at Moravian Academy underwent a big change this year. Now, instead of the traditional year-long Spanish 4 / French 4 / Chinese 4 class, the department offers several semester-long courses that teach the advanced grammar through cultural topics that run the gamut on the expertise and passions of the teachers who offer them.
Neil Deshmukh ’20, Julius Ewungkem ’20, and Avijit Singh ’20 are among the 16,000 selected nationwide as Semifinalists in the 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. The academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring.
