Midwest boarding schools

 North Cedar Academy (NCA) is a private, university-pathway boarding school located in Ladysmith, Wisconsin. NCA offers motivated and committed American and International students in grades 9 through 12 the opportunity to graduate from high school with a high school diploma and Associate of Arts & Science (AAS) degree simultaneously.

The NCA model allows a student to obtain a Bachelor’s degree within two years of high school graduation, and a Master’s degree within four.

All NCA graduates who complete the Blugold Guaranteed Transfer Program (BGTP) are granted admission into the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, as well as the University of Minnesota - Duluth, to finish their bachelor’s degrees!

While many private boarding schools in the US offer AP Credits or an IB curriculum, NCA's BGTP students earn actual university credits and guaranteed credit transfer on a beautiful mid-western university campus.

Culver Military Academy, established in 1894, and Culver Girls Academy, founded in 1971, compose Culver Academies, one of the leading college preparatory boarding schools in North America. We are located in Culver, Indiana on a beautiful 1,800-acre campus on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckee. Enrollment is approximately 830 students in grades nine through 12.

Culver Academies admits students capable of pursuing a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum while becoming responsible citizens and leaders. Candidates are selected for their potential to meet Culver’s high academic standards and to contribute to Culver’s nationally recognized leadership and extracurricular programs. The diverse student body includes representatives from 24 countries and 40 states.

Consistent with the Culver mission of educating students for leadership and responsible citizenship in society, we believe what distinguishes Culver from other fine secondary schools is that while we offer academic training and extracurricular opportunities that are second to none, Culver is the leader in delivering practical experience and instruction in leadership for all students and emphasizing high expectations for personal responsibility and integrity. The leadership principles we teach and develop are those that apply to leaders in all walks of life.
