Developing Critical Thinking for Life
Mathematics is a problem-solving process, a way of thinking, and an approach to learning. At Culver, students investigate and discover math fundamentals in a collaborative, student-based classroom experience. They foster a deep understanding of concepts with real-world applications, a benefit in any field they pursue.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.Galileo Galilei
