    I have two children who have entered and worked there way through Moravian Academy -- both from…read morekindergarten with the Spanish immersion program. My first daughter had a relatively positive experience when she was in elementary school and is doing well in the high school currently. However, my youngest has had a very negative experience with one teacher in particular: Mr. Yerrington. She had him last year and he was horribly abrasive, rude, and discouraging toward her exploration of her education. She has struggled with self esteem issues with both her ability to speak spanish and engagement in the classroom since. We tried to talk to Moravian about it, but they brushed it off, as they do most things. Be aware of this when selecting MA as your childs future school.

    From a parent of a student who attends MA: MA provides a first-rate education. The strength of this…read moreschool is the teachers and three strong administrators, the backbone of MA: the head of the Lower School[preK-5], head of Middle School[ grades 6-8] and The head of the Upper School [grades 9-12]. This school sets a foundation that allows its students to transition easily into highly selective colleges and universities. A higher percentage of students get accepted into highly selective schools versus any counterpart high school in the area. This is also due to MA's college counselor who does a tremendous job matching a student's profile with the right college. Study habits are honed in MA's middle schoool and further tuned in Upper School. MA has very strong math and science teachers. Language and other non-math/science instructors were also very good. I do not recall any unflattering comments about any educator in the school regarding subject matter. All kids complain about something, but never got any negative feedback on educator competence. Also, theatre and performing arts are featured with showcase events that reveal talents of students, a tribute to MA staff, students, and those who organize these events. Other aspects: -Some MA parents can get a bit tiresome. Imagine the NY Times Weekend Style section, or the social pages showing adults mugging for photos at some self-serving fundraiser. Now conjur up in your mind a very low-end junior varsity version of that--think of a Saturday Night Live skit. -MA has turned out its share of athletes that go on to play in D1 programs in college, mostly field hockey players over the past 10 years. However, MA sports could be supported a little better financially, and with encouraged attendance. MA's athletic director--who did a great job--retired. Hopefully the new AD will get more support from the school and sports won't be de-emphasized. All in all, I could not have asked for a better educational outcome for my daughter.

    This is the most fun I have ever had camping with my kids. There are so many activities you can…read morehardly get to all of them. The staff is so friendly, the cabins are rustic but comfortable enough. The food is camp food. Bleh. But it is all part of the experience. We are on our fifth year here and can not wait for a sixth.

    Our family's experience at YMCA Camp Mason was extremely disappointing…read more Our son enrolled in the month-long Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program after looking forward to it for several months. Less than 24 hours after arriving, he asked us to pick him up because he no longer felt safe remaining at camp. His decision was based on the combination of several experiences during his first day and night, including conversations about firearms among campers assigned to his cabin, a public display of intimate behavior in a common area without apparent staff intervention, inadequate bathroom and shower privacy, apparent inconsistencies with the camp's medication procedures, repeated nighttime disturbances, and what were periods without appropriate adult supervision. The following morning, we met with camp leadership and decided to withdraw him after only one night. What disappointed us most was what happened afterward. We submitted a detailed formal complaint, but Camp Mason's written response did not meaningfully address the concerns we raised regarding supervision, facilities, medication procedures, or the overall circumstances that led our son to feel unsafe. The camp also declined to reconsider its decision regarding our refund request. Every family will have its own experience, but ours fell far short of what we expected from a YMCA overnight camp.
