The purpose of a Moravian education is to set you free
—from gaps in your knowledge, from limitations in your thinking,
from isolation in your world—to lead a fulfilling, successful
life. Our educational programs are founded on the ideals of John
Amos
Comenius, a Moravian leader born in the 16th century, now revered as
the "father of modern education."
Our nation's leaders are crying out for a reaffirmation
of his principles: a strong basic curriculum, personal attention from
skilled teachers, a global perspective, and a vision for the future
of students. Moravian College was founded more than 250 years ago on
Comenius's principles. We continue to fine-tune his ideals to fulfill
the needs of a new age and a new world order. We like to think that
we have a special insight into what he had in mind.
