Lehigh Valley Summerbridge at Moravian Academy Information

Established in 1993, Lehigh Valley Summerbridge (LVS) serves economically deprived and academically talented seventh and eighth grade students throughout the Lehigh Valley. It is a free, non-profit enrichment program hosted by Moravian Academy that is designed to assist predominantly low income students, from nine different middle schools in the Lehigh Valley, in their quest to become a college student. Over 1,000 students have actively participated in the LVS program. These students, comprised of a variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds, are likely to be first generation college attendees and graduates. The program has also served hundreds of teachers, many of which are currently employed as teachers in the Lehigh Valley. All of the teachers in our program are enrolled in college degree programs and are studying education.
