The Webb School was founded in 1870 by Sawney Webb, a noted educator who made a permanent mark on the educational, political, religious, social and local affairs of his time. For the last 150 years, we’ve honored Sawney’s vision for his school by preparing generations of scholars, makers, and doers to go out into the world and be heard.

Then you’ll love participating in Webb’s Emerging Voices Program, where you’ll nurture raw, original ideas into polished creations like orations, performances, and even paper presentations. With the Emerging Voices Program, you’ll discover that your voice can—and should—be heard. It’s an experience unlike any other, and we can’t wait for you to participate.
Emerging Voices ProgramHonor and personal integrity are the hallmarks of a Webb education. Each year, students sign an honor pledge reinforcing their commitment to conduct themselves with the highest of personal standards, and to respect the members of our community through both words and actions.
At The Webb School, we are deeply committed to providing each of our students with a personalized education that meets their needs and sets them up for success. We do this by surrounding our students with layers of support, from limiting our class sizes to a 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio, to emphasizing the relationship between student and faculty, and providing supportive programs that accommodate each student’s learning capabilities.
Here are just some of the benefits of our academic program:
Including but not limited to: The Webb Advisor System, bi-weekly progress reports, a daily “Extra Help” period, standardized testing preparation, and study center.
At Webb, each student deserves the right to an education that’s right for them. That’s why we’ve devised the Webb LIFT Program, designed for students with diagnosed learning disabilities such as ADHD and dyslexia. Students in our LIFT Program receive the structure necessary to be disciplined, academically successful young adults.
