College Counseling

One of the many advantages of attending The Webb School is the personalized attention students will experience when working with College Counseling. Two full-time members of the college counseling team will be on hand to guide students and their family through the college search, application, and decision processes. With almost 30 years of combined experience in college and secondary school admission and enrollment management, Mr. Bridwell and Ms. Newberg will focus on the student’s passions and desires while keeping in mind the family’s needs and requirements. In-depth college counseling will begin in ninth grade and prepare families for the excitement of the college discernment process, while keeping student fit and expectations as the focal point.

The college counselors at Webb will place the student in the driver’s seat with the parents and college counselors playing the roles of navigator and guidance. And while many Webb graduates attend super selective colleges across the country each year, College Counseling is also prepared to assist with admission to regional universities with outstanding academics that offer greater financial support.
