About The Webb Schools

The Webb Schools are a California-based boarding and day school where students discover the people, places, and experiences that will shape their future. Located on a 150-acre campus in the San Gabriel foothills, Webb offers a close-knit living and learning community with access to the cultural, scientific, academic, entrepreneurial, civic, and natural resources of Los Angeles and Southern California. Guided by the mission to think boldly, act with honor, lead with distinction, and serve with a generous spirit, Webb prepares students for college and for lives of purpose in a rapidly changing world. Its dynamic academic program combines rigorous coursework, interdisciplinary inquiry, hands-on research, ethical exploration, and real-world application. Students learn to ask better questions, connect ideas across disciplines, and develop the creativity, adaptability, and confidence to shape what comes next. At Webb, learning happens in classrooms, studios, labs, residence halls, outdoor spaces, and across Southern California. That spirit of discovery is reflected in the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology, the only accredited museum on a high school campus in the country, where students can participate in fieldwork, fossil preparation, research, and publication. In Webb’s residential and day community, students are known deeply, challenged with care, and supported by faculty and peers. They build independence, belonging, resilience, global perspective, and moral courage — developing the habits of mind and character to lead lives of purpose and impact.

What Makes Us Unique

Webb brings together rigorous academics, a global community, Southern California opportunity, and a culture rooted in honor, leadership, and discovery. Located on a 150-acre campus in the San Gabriel foothills, Webb gives students both the natural beauty and connection of a close-knit boarding and day school and access to one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Southern California is an important part of the Webb experience. Students learn in a setting connected to Los Angeles and the region’s cultural, scientific, academic, entrepreneurial, civic, artistic, and natural resources. In this way, California becomes a classroom, laboratory, and launching pad for learning that reaches beyond campus. Webb’s academic program is designed for a new era of learning, combining rigorous coursework with inquiry, exploration, interdisciplinary thinking, and real-world application. Students are challenged to ask better questions, connect ideas across disciplines, and build the creativity, adaptability, and confidence to shape the future. At the same time, Webb is a deeply human community where students are known, supported, and challenged with care. Guided by the mission to think, act, lead, and serve, students develop independence, a sense of belonging, moral courage, and a sense of purpose. The Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology brings Webb’s spirit of discovery to life, giving students opportunities for fieldwork, fossil preparation, research, and publication in a setting found nowhere else.
