Boarding Fee
Boarding begins in 7th grade at Webb and our middle school boarding program is focused solely on the needs of younger students. With a ratio of 16 students and 4 dorm parents per dorm, kids are really known at Webb and personalized attention is a given. Academically, Webb offers a rigorous program that provides a strong foundation for transition into the upper school and college.
Residential Life Curriculum
Webb’s middle school boarding program is a unique experience. In the evening, a mandatory bi-weekly curriculum focuses on skills needed to live away from home including: fostering independence, character development, leadership skills, and developing confidence. Within the residential curriculum, Webb nurtures each child’s social-emotional health as well as focuses on the academics. The Residential Life program at Webb prides itself on developing a safe and caring community while letting the students find a real sense of self. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the athletic field or in the dorm, our residential faculty members play a key role in our boarders’ daily lives.
Webb has three male and three female dormitories. Students are assigned to a dorm on the basis of their grade. Each dorm has faculty members who support students in the dorm throughout the week. Each dorm has laundry and kitchen facilities as well as common rooms. The common rooms have a TV and DVD player along with computers and Internet connections. All dorms feature a wireless network.
Webb works to create an environment that encourages independence while providing its students with structure and support. Within the dorms is a network of faculty who are there not only to monitor, but also to offer advice and guidance to students who need it. Whether it's a lesson on how to do laundry, how to manage one's personal schedule, or how to live with various personalities in the dorm, our students learn valuable life skills. Our prefect system is designed to develop student leadership opportunities within the residential life program.
With a variety of weekend activities from which to choose, boarders are never at a loss for something to do. Activities range from professional and college level sporting events and concerts in Nashville to white water rafting and trips to area malls and movie theaters. Each dorm plans its own activities, as well. The dorms will go out to dinner, watch movies, go bowling, or whatever everyone decides to do.
