"Our Webb community is so strong, everyone supports and respects each other, causing students to feel more comfortable being themselves. When I went home during breaks I began to realize that I missed Webb so much and felt so at home there."

Favorite Thing At Webb: The connections I have been able to form with my fellow Webbies outside of the classroom.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Webb is a college-preparatory boarding school with a challenging curriculum, so we seek students with demonstrated academic achievement. Additionally, as an honor-bound community, we welcome students with strong character and a desire to be actively involved with peers, faculty and staff.

Webb is a boarding community that admits a limited number of day students in the 9th, 10th and 11th grades. Families wishing to apply for a day space must live in one of the prescribed day-area cities at the time they submit the admission application. A prospective day student must reside within one of the following cities: Alta Loma, Azusa, Claremont, Covina, Fontana, Glendora, La Verne, Montclair, Mount Baldy, Ontario, Phillips Ranch, Pomona, Rancho Cucamonga, San Dimas or Upland.

A student enrolling as a boarder may not later become a day student. International students must enroll in our boarding program.

Students check-in for breakfast by 8:15 a.m. Classes begin at 8:30. Students have a mid-morning break to go to meetings, assemblies or chapel and a 40-minute lunch period mid-day. Classes end at 3 p.m. on most days. After class, students participate in our afternoon program from 3:35 to 5:15 p.m. Dinner begins at 6 p.m. and study hours are from 7:45 to 10 p.m.

Our primary admission year is grade 9, but we will also consider applicants for grades 10 and 11. We typically do not accept applications to enter grade 12.

All parts of the online application must be completed before it can be submitted. Our deadline for application submission is January 15.

In rare cases, Webb will admit a student mid-year. Examples of this may be a work-related transfer for the candidate’s parent.

SSAT/ISEE test scores will not be reviewed as part of the application process for the fall 2023 application cycle.

It is required that non-native English speakers take a language proficiency exam. Webb accepts the TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo. Please see the Application Process for more information.

Webb does not accept the SAT, SLEP or other similar examinations in place of the above.

Webb’s SSAT code is 8080. Our ISEE code is 50600. Please mark this on your test to ensure that we receive scores directly from the testing organization.

Interviews are strongly recommended but not required. Interviews for the 2021 admission cycle will be conducted online.

A brief visit to a class is part of our regular campus tour, but students generally do not shadow a full class. To learn more about our curriculum, we encourage applicants to visit the campus for our Discover Webb or Parent Information Night events.

*Currently we are unable to accommodate visitors on campus. Please view our Visit page for Virtual Opportunities. 

In rare cases, we will consider an applicant who wishes to repeat their current grade. Families can make the decision to repeat a year only in consultation with the Director of Admission.

Webb welcomes home-schooled students to apply by submitting the necessary application materials and test results, including full description of the curriculum, methods of assessment and any organization that might have oversight authority for the candidate’s program. Recommendations are encouraged from facilitators outside the family, if available. Further questions can be directed to the Office of Admission.

Admission decisions will be available online on March 10 through the applicant’s online account. Candidates must access their account using their username and password.
