    I graduated in 2016 and have returned for a few wedding ceremonies. I've written extensively about…read morewhether Lehigh is a good deal and what college life here was like, so this review is more about the food and the setting. This is one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States of America. For weddings, the chapel is breathtaking and there are dozens of spots on campus at which a group could take nice pictures. While the hillside setting is the envy of hundreds of colleges, it's been said that some of the freshman residence halls are at the highest elevation east of the Mississippi River. Daily journeys involve awkward undulating paths and hundreds of stairs (none with consistent spacing), and "seeing campus" is not a feasible quest for a huge portion for the median out-of-shape American. Regarding the food, dining on campus was controlled by Sodexo, the company that provides food to prisons. Pricing was extortionate and quality was awful. I recall a constant rotation of "breakfast for dinner" where the morning's food was re-heated for dinner, and a mad rush for basic foods like pizza when the main protein offering would be disgusting salisbury steak. I believe this terrible marriage began in 2010 or so, as when I started at Lehigh in 2012, older students reminisced on a slightly-better food scene that included an on-campus Chik-fil-A. There was an elevated tier of (Sodexo branded) dining options in the building where the Chik-fil-A used to be, which all charged a premium in "meal swipes" (of which students maybe received 250 per semester) and prepared passable ready-made dishes formed out of frozen, preservative-laden ingredients. You would be hard pressed to find an alumnus whose underclassman experience wasn't affected by how bad the food was. I was lucky to meet people at Lehigh who were similar to me in terms of their outspokenness, and one guy submitted a detailed complaint and suggestion sheet to Sodexo "management." They sat down with him and thanked him and then proceeded to do nothing. The extra meal budget I had to beg my parents for to eat mid campus-edge food (The Goose and Johnny's Bagels) was probably $400/mo, which really hurt back then. The school has some things going for it, just not the food.

    Cool campus. Lots of neat buildings. Neatly tucked campus. Seems very safe. Small town. Enjoyed our…read morevisit.

    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.

    I attend Bethlehem Christian school, and would highly discourage attending. There are almost no…read moreprograms offered besides athletics. We currently have no language classes. It's overpriced for it being at a church, with unqualified teachers, and no programs. Administration doesn't handle the strong racism, sexism, and bullying. They largely ignore students who need extra help. They worry about the dress code rather than the serious issues students are going through. I know multiple people who left the school due to bullying. These people went to the administration, but the admin did not listen. We have had racist teachers, teachers with serious mental issues, we had a teacher fired for multiple weird occurrences with female students, yet he still shows up to all games. The school doesn't deal with this issue at all. Current teachers show strong favoritism for male students; they are treated better and are often flirted with by female teachers. The athletics program is good, but that's about it. Anyway, if you're looking for an education for a Christian child, send them to public school and do some bible lessons. If you pay for here, all you're paying for is a horrible education and a 40 minute bible class where we fool around. The students act exactly like public school students with cursing, slurs, disobedience, smoking, racism, and more, so you're not paying for anything.

    Awsome school most of staff is awsome and sports are amazing. Academics push hard and far.read more
