How to Apply
1. Submit AN Inquiry
The website is a great starting place to learn about Culver, but there’s so much more we want to tell you! Complete our inquiry form and start receiving information about Culver Academies.
2. Schedule a Visit & Interview
A great way to learn more about Culver Academies is to schedule a campus tour and interview. We realize that it is not possible for all of our applicants to travel to campus this fall, so you have the option to sign up for a zoom interview and virtual tour with an admissions officer instead.
3. Submit an Application for Admission & Financial Aid
Application Deadline: January 15
Culver Academies accepts both the Standard Application Online (SAO) and the Gateway to Prep Schools application. You may choose the application you prefer. Both applications ask for similar information and we give no preference to one over the other. Please do not submit both applications.
