Administrative Assistant, Upper School

Moravian Academy | Merle-Smith Campus, Bethlehem, PA

Full-time, 12-month, on-site

Every great school has someone who makes the day actually work. At Moravian Academy's Upper School, that person could be you.

As Administrative Assistant, you are the steady center of our Main Office: the first face students and families see, the person who keeps the Campus Director's calendar running efficiently and the one who makes Back-to-School Night, Awards Ceremonies, and class trips come together seamlessly. You will manage schedules, campus purchasing, event logistics, and the dozens of small systems that keep an Upper School humming.

You will thrive here if you:

• Stay organized amid multiple projects
• Handle confidential information with discretion
• Enjoy teenagers, parents, and the energy of a school day
• Know your way around Google Workspace and Excel (Blackbaud/myMA a plus)
