Bell Buckle
Centrally located, but a world away.
Bell Buckle is known for its festivals and artists. It’s a quiet, eclectic town of just 400 residents. The downtown area is just a short walk down the hill from Webb and includes many student-favorite spots like the Bell Buckle Coffee Shop, Bell Buckle Cafe, and the Bluebird Ice Cream Parlor. There are many charming inns and Airbnbs available in town for parent visits.
What Our Community Has To Say
What has Webb meant to you?
“As a high school student who lived at The Webb School for four years, I found that our little community in Bell Buckle was transformational and exactly what I needed as a 14 year old. The school’s emphasis on diversity as an international community has also shaped my worldview and has opened me up to so many new ideas and cultures. Overall, Webb has truly pushed me out of my comfort zone, expanded my knowledge of other nationalities, and prepared me for the future especially when entering a new chapter of my life at college.”

What is it like to board at Webb?
What do you love about teaching at Webb?
I remember pausing one sunny Friday afternoon – last period of the day, the campus unfolding in all its spring glory outside my Big Room window, fourteen students in front of me hailing from six different countries, all engaged in heated debate about Victor Frankenstein – actually pausing and saying aloud, “Where else but Webb could this happen?”
