Webb's Diversity Statement
As a private coeducational college preparatory boarding school, serving students continuously since 1870, The Webb School provides a rigorous academic program that also emphasizes personal integrity, civic responsibility, and leadership. An essential component of our ethos is that every member of our school community, including students, faculty, and staff, are respected and supported as unique individuals. The Webb School believes that fostering an environment that is ethnically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse is essential to enhance critical thinking, inform intellectual debate, and comply with our obligations as a true preparatory school for our students to go onto college and beyond.
The Webb School has a diverse student body, attracting students from both locally in middle Tennessee and from all over the world. We embrace the opportunities to learn, study, and work in the richness of a diverse environment characterized by understanding, respect, and acceptance. We therefore strive to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion as an essential aspect of preparing Webb graduates for a life of service and success.
Student Diversity Council
Our student-led Diversity Council is dedicated to promoting inclusivity and celebrating the diverse voices within our school community. The council plans monthly events that align with global celebrations and important cultural themes, bringing awareness and understanding to various traditions and perspectives. From organizing interactive games for all classes, to decorating our campus, the council is always finding new ways to engage and unite our school. These efforts create a vibrant, supportive environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued.
