Albert Cullum

When someone like Albert Cullum comes along, they wake you up and remind you of the endless potential that lives within each of us. As a 5th grade teacher in the 1960’s he bucked convention and pushed back the desks to give his students an education that ignited their hearts and minds. In the documentary about his teachings, A Touch of Greatness, you see why Albert Cullum is regarded by academics as one of the most influential educators of our time. A must see for anyone who dares to touch greatness…

“Children who get early exposure to great art, great music, great literature don’t run away from it ever in their lifetime, it’s like a friend.

“It’s what you feed on as a child that stays with you forever.”

- Albert Cullum
