Webb's faculty are outstanding, committed educators, who
come from a wide range of colleges and universities; most
of whom possess advanced degrees. While a few teachers are
fresh out of college, the average faculty member has thirteen
years in the profession and eleven years experience at Webb.
Throughout the year, Webb encourages the faculty's continuing
education by funding graduate courses, workshops, conferences,
and seminars.
Webb's average class size is 12, but some classes are as
small as 5 students. In that type of environment it is very
easy to see that topics are being grasped and concepts mastered.
Webb offers College Preparatory and College Preparatory-Honors
courses in most disciplines. This "two track" system
allows students to take accelerated courses in their areas
of particular academic strength.
Webb offers over a dozen electives. Among this year's offerings
are Advanced Painting, World Religions, Computer Applications,
Wilderness Skills, Creative Writing, and Fresh Water Biology.
Webb, despite its small size, offers a range of Advanced
Placement classes, by means of which students can earn college
credit and/or advanced placement in college courses. These
include English, American History, European
History, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, and Calculus
AB & BC. Last year 45 of our students took 92 AP examinations,
earning scores of 3 or above on 72% of those.
