I spent two summers at Culver and it was one of the best schools I ever went to.

Culver? Cool.

I used to compete against them in equestrian events, back in the day.

In the 60’s Culver was one of the top 5 secondary schools in the nation. I think it’s now down in the 20’s...not sure.

It was two of the best years of my life. Military discipline then was tops. When I learned of the school from visiting, I asked my parents if they would pay to send me there - I was 16 and had gotten into the wrong crowd in HS. The level of academics was incredible. God’s grace I graduated in the top 1/4 of my class. Barely!

A majority of the student body was from VERY wealthy families (not mine) from all over the nation, but a good number came on scholarships. Many had generations of Culver grads.

Most Culver grads of my class are very conservative, but a small number of course are not. As far as I can tell, most have become very successful in their lives - which I would expect.
