Part memoir, part history, & part educational philosophy, “Why Culver” examines the unique history, leadership philosophy, and ethos of the multidimensional institution that is Culver Academies.

Author John N. Buxton, retired from his nearly 20-year role as Head of Schools at Culver, unpacks the many and diverse answers to the question: “Why Culver?”

When & why does a relationship begin? There are always people & experiences that are obviously connected in some way to the start of a relationship – a formal meeting, a conversation on the phone, a chance meeting, or an introduction. When it comes to one’s relationship with Culver, however, there is never any confusion about the steps that led to that person’s connection to Culver.
