School Details

Key Facts

Webb rests on a slice of hillside in Claremont, California at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Heritage oaks and tall eucalyptus trees punctuate the quiet canyons and pedestrian roadways that crisscross the 72-acre campus. A patchwork of green spaces and expansive playing fields are edged in adobe and wood and stucco dormitories, classroom buildings, and faculty homes. The campus is home to 407 students and some 100 faculty and staff.
At Webb we focus on giving students a broad-based liberal arts education where learning happens through authentic discovery and rigorous scholarship. We work to prepare students, not just for entry into the most selective colleges and universities in the country and around the world, but also for the rigors of leading in a fast-paced, fluid global community where personal integrity and moral courage are paramount.
Total Students: 407
