The Spartan Campaign for Webb School

For more than 60 years, Webb School of Knoxville has stood as a pillar of excellence in education. We are proud to have realized our founder Robert Webb’s vision: to start a school that educates young people in extraordinary ways and inspires and nurtures the full potential of each individual.

As we look to our future, it is important that we remain extraordinary in all of our endeavors. Now is the time to reimagine how a college preparatory experience prepares students to be future leaders of character. Now is the time to reimagine the programs, resources and buildings that facilitate extraordinary outcomes. Now is the time for Webb’s reimagining EXTRAORDINARY campaign.

With your support, we will reimagine:

• What a tailored experience looks like for every student through comprehensive Learning Resource Centers that support and inspire learners at every level, in every division.

• How we best prepare students in the 21st century through a Middle School Innovation Center; offering cutting-edge facilities that integrate engineering and robotics, and promote learning and collaboration.  

• How an Upper School Learning Commons will engage students and teachers, and promote higher learning and advanced research.

• A more intentional “front door” to Webb’s campus that celebrates our history and welcomes prospective families and others in spaces that represent our commitment to excellence.

 


“This is how we are reimagining extraordinary today.” – Michael McBrien
