Extremely High Academics Emphasizing Honor, Morals, and Values Safe Environment in a Small Town Unique Public Speaking Curriculum Innovative College Counseling Program
For over 155 years, The Webb School has provided challenging academics with an emphasis on morals and values in a family-like setting. It is a place where young adults are not just expected to learn — they are encouraged to lead, as The Webb School promotes independent thinking, creative initiative, personal integrity and civic responsibility. The community, including an average class size of 13, inspires lifelong connections while fostering individual growth. Students from more than 20 countries and a dozen states allow for a global experience in Middle Tennessee that shapes students into engaged citizens of the world. The result: stronger, more confident thinkers, makers and doers who are prepared for college and life.To put it simply, it’s cool to be smart at Webb. We develop confident, creative, and critical thinkers one question at a time. Webb offers 16 AP courses along with other very challenging classes. But we truly break the mold with our public performance program, which fosters our students’ emerging voices while developing their academic passions.
Webb’s 150-acre campus is located 50 minutes south of Nashville, Tennessee in historic Bell Buckle. This rural and intimate setting promotes a focus on personal values and intellectual growth – creating a refuge from societal pressures and distractions.
Most importantly, respect goes both ways at Webb. Honor, integrity, and civility are at our core and we hold the line to those ideals. This has been a hallmark of Webb throughout our 154 year history, and our students take pride in upholding this tradition.
All of these unique qualities create what we call The Character of Home. We invite you to explore our Web site to learn more about Webb.
