Spend your summer in the skies. Take flight and join Culver's historic aviation instruction program. Culver Upper Schools is a six-week leadership development program for youth ages 14 to 17. The Upper Schools' military organizational structure is designed to instill followership, then leadership, over the course of three summers.
Enrolling in the Aviation School is for those students who have a genuine interest in learning more about the world of Aviation.
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.
Students in their first year of Aviation at Culver are required to take a double-class period of Foundations of Aviation for the full 6 weeks of camp. This includes the opportunity to experience desk-top simulators and the full-size motion simulator on Culver’s campus as a part of the solid foundation of aviation knowledge Culver will provide.
Returning Aviation students will choose from options available to ensure their experience is aligned to fit their goals.
