Also, the Wikipedia articles Indoctrination and 教化 are linked to each other.
.
I'm not sure that "culture" is suitable, especially at the head of the definition. スーパー大辞林 3.0 says 教え導き、よい方向に向かわ
せること. That doesn't sound like "the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively" 
(culture).
教化 is a "vs", so what is the verb equivalent of "culture"? — "cultivate"? Well, that's not a gloss that I see in definitions 
of 教化する. GG5 says 
enlighten; educate; instruct; indoctrinate; 〔文明により〕 civilize; 〔キリスト教により〕 evangelize
