School Notes
Sawney Webb's goal was to build moral character, make ladies
and gentlemen of his students, and prepare them for any challenge
that may come their way. This has been accomplished for 140 years
through a solid liberal arts education, a strong sense of honor,
and an interactive school community.

Webb School is a school with many diverse students and cultures represented. We have been part of the Webb School for 6 years with boys. If you look at the published material, they accept students at Webb into almost every school in the country including the top Ivy League Universities. Webb is well known internationally. University acceptance committees are well aware of the caliber of students that graduate at Webb and realize the students work hard for their grades without the benefit of grade inflation. Our kids had their ups and downs, but they will also say it was worth it and they would not change anything. Sports have been hit or miss, depending on the year and makeup of the team. The teachers are mostly very involved and promote individual creativity and foster critical thinking. The network of alumni has been very helpful as they look for internships and opportunities at various universities. Overall, I give this school a rating 5 stars!

Webb School builds scholars through the strong tradition of honesty, integrity, honor and respect. The school embraces the individuality of each student and caters to each student`s strengths. It has a wonderful, in-depth focus on academics, athletics and the arts. The small-town setting is unique and plays a huge role in the creation of an exceptional sense of community where lifelong friendships are formed. It is truly a hidden gem. I am proud to have graduated from Webb in 1980. It was a gift to have been able to attend such a fine institution.

The Webb School is a unique and special place! Webb is known for the beautiful campus and challenging academics, but the high standards for each child's character, independence and personal development are what make Webb so special. I would recommend Webb to all parents seeking a well-rounded education for their child.

My son has been a Webb student for 2 years and so far his experience has been very positive. He has been very challenged academically, which has made him develop good study habits and discipline. The Webb staff is very cordial and readily available, and the teachers are well prepared and accessible. The school promotes an environment of integrity and character building. I highly recommend this school.

Webb School is an awesome school and is well worth the investment into our daughter. With the international students attending she gets exposed to other cultures and ideas. No Common Core here!! The education is second to none! and she is learning how to be an upstanding citizen.

The Webb School has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. As a boarder, she has gained time management skills as well as self confidence. The faculty and staff hold a high bar for the students while still being very approachable and nurturing.

Everyone is aware of Webb's outstanding academic reputation, but the culture is equally important to us. Within three weeks of starting her freshman year at Webb, our daughter had become noticeably more independent and responsible. Every time I visit Webb I am struck by their particular brand of student: well-spoken, comfortable in their own skin, interested, respectful . . . in a word: mature. Webb students talk to adults openly and respectfully as peers. Teens at Webb are coached to take care of their own responsibilities and own up to their failures. They have enormous access to the time and attention of the many, many wonderful faculty and administration on campus because the student-teacher ratio is so low. Webb knows how to "do" boarding school exceedingly well, and the day students benefit from this environment too. I feel very thankful that my daughter has four years of important development in this setting.

I love this school for our boys! Individuality, self-esteem, respect, and creativity are all emphasized here. I also love the crazy amount of diversity at Webb! My boys have amazing friends from South Korea, Germany, Russia, and more.
