In addition to required courses, the program offers a range of electives and dual-enrollment opportunities, allowing students to explore their individual interests.

Upper School Academic Program

Our Upper School academic program provides a broad-based liberal arts education that prepares students for the future. We emphasize skills that will be useful in every career, such as writing and public speaking, and help students learn to utilize resources to work effectively. Students who graduate from Webb are armed with the ability to successfully navigate coursework at the collegiate level.

HONORS & ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses challenge capable students to reach their full potential and engage in college-level work. As students plan their academic paths, faculty advisors guide them in maximizing the many opportunities available at Webb. The school offers 11 honors courses and 16 AP courses.

McDonnell-Follin Scholars Program

The McDonnell-Follin Scholars Program supports the in-depth study of an academic area by a student in the junior class for one semester while being supported by a member of the faculty or administration. It is a student-driven program wherein the student will create the course of study in consultation with the proposed mentor.

The mentor and student will meet one or two times per week to check on the progress and development of new ideas. At the end of the semester the student will present their work to the Upper School in a chapel who will then ask questions of the student about his/her research.
