For over 150 years The Webb School has been
guided by a singular mission:
“to turn out young people who are tireless workers, and who know how to work effectively; who are accurate scholars; who know the finer points of morals and practice them in their daily living; who are always courteous
[without the slightest trace of snobbery]”

Honor
Is at our core
Our emphasis on honor and personal integrity is central to every aspect of life at Webb.
