Culver Academies is a college preparatory boarding school
located in Culver, Indiana, which is composed of three entities: Culver
Military Academy (CMA) for boys, Culver Girls Academy (CGA), and the Culver
Summer Schools and Camps (CSSC). Culver Military Academy was founded in 1894 by
Henry Harrison Culver.
The Eugene C. Eppley Foundation donated the funds for three
classroom buildings that comprise the Gignilliat Memorial Quadrangle. Eppley Auditorium, built 65 years ago in 1959,
seats 1,492 people. The new Steinbrenner Performing Arts Center consists of a
scene shop, dance studio, and private dance studio.
Culver Academies was expanded with the addition of the
47,000 sq. ft. Huffington Library on October 1, 1993. The building provides a
southern terminus to the academic quadrangle while affording library patrons a
view of Lake Maxinkuckee. It houses a collection of approximately 55,000
volumes and the academies' information technology resources.
Henderson Arena is home to Culver Military Academy and
Culver Girls Academy hockey teams.
On October 5, 2012, Culver dedicated the White-Devries
Rowing Center for the men's and women's crew teams.
On February 9, 2022, it was announced that Culver Military
Academy alumnus George Roberts '62 has donated $65 million to the construction
of Roberts Residential Quadrangle that will replace the existing Main, North,
and East barracks.
