A History of Reaching New Heights
The history of aviation instruction at Culver goes back to 1920 when cadets learned to fly World War I surplus floatplanes provided by the U.S. Navy. In 1970, Culver Academies was the first high school in the United States to have its own airport and operate its own fleet of training aircraft.
