Culver provides the best whole person education in the country and is the only school to offer an intentional and differentiated leadership program for its young women and young men. When thoughtful educators discuss the qualities necessary for success in today’s world, they end up describing Culver.

I am grateful for the support of our Legion Board of Directors in making this publication possible. Culver has been around for more than a century, and its alumni speak volumes for the success of its programs.
