About The Position

Culver seeks faculty who contribute to students’ academic growth, character development, and broader school experience. Faculty serve as teachers, advisors, collaborators, coaches, role models, and lifelong learners, and are expected to embrace boarding school life and build strong relationships with students.

Culver’s academic program follows an intensive 4x4 block schedule. Faculty typically teach two 80-minute classes each day, with an average class size of approximately 14 students. They create engaging, discussion-rich, student-centered learning experiences and collaborate with colleagues through course teams, department meetings, and interdisciplinary initiatives to strengthen curriculum, instruction, and student support.

Faculty participate in student life beyond the classroom through advising, coaching, residential life, clubs, service, or other co-curricular programs. They help students practice character, develop as transformational leaders, and honor their responsibilities as citizens. Culver seeks educators who contribute to a welcoming and inclusive community in which every student and employee is known, valued, and supported.

Culver supports faculty growth through an intentional system of growth and reflection guided by Department Chairs. Professional learning opportunities include conferences, graduate coursework, curriculum development, collaborative inquiry, and on-campus workshops and forums. Faculty are encouraged to pursue individual goals aligned with shared institutional objectives.
