<p>We were told on our tour at NMH this year by an admissions officer and our tour guide (and confirmed by several current students) that over half of the teachers request that students call them by their first name.<br>
On our tour, they were almost apologic about having any kind of religious “ceremony” or former affiliation.<br>
I’m sure it simply depends on the classes/teachers you happen to have. </p>
<p>In any case, I was really just saying that from an outside person who has observed both schools, Culver is more conservative - being mid-west and having a strict dress code/uniform are just 2 examples of it.</p>
