Here, the emphasis lies on a whole-person education. This involves rigorous academics, athletic programmes, extracurricular activities, and leadership development. The school offers 185 courses, including 49 arts courses and 26 Advanced Placement classes, as well as a dedicated entrepreneurship programme, the Ron Rubin School for the Entrepreneur. As many as are available too, giving students the outlet to grow together outside of their academics.
One of the biggest parts of a student’s time at Culver revolves around the Leadership Education Curriculum. It is embedded into every aspect of life here, whether in the classroom or outside, helping students understand the power of building teams to accomplish goals and reflect on their roles as members and leaders within those teams. This is how students grow to become good leaders and followers, a philosophy they follow even after graduating from Culver.
Culver is nothing if not for the people who grace their halls.
“Culver isn’t simply a place – it’s defined by the people who inhabit it,” says Jyothinagaram. She likens it to “the person who covers you up after you have fallen asleep on their bed, then sleeps on the floor. It is the dinners with friends and making paninis ‘as tall as my hand’ that may have ruined one of the grills. And it is when a friend smuggles a pizza into the health centre, then sits outside your window so you can eat together after you have been sick for a week.”
Like these memories, Culver’s qualities will remain with her and the school’s graduates far into their future.
