Testing Requirements

An English-language proficiency test is required if your primary language is not English and you have not been taught primarily in English for the last two years of school in a fully English-based curriculum. We only accept scores that come directly from the testing organization.

The Webb Schools accept the following English-language proficiency tests:

While not required, we strongly recommend that applicants complete an interview. The interview lets us get to know you and helps ensure that Webb is the right match. Prospective student interviews will be offered via Zoom, in-person, or by recorded video submission for fall 2024 applicants.

Interview appointments may be scheduled online. Details and registration links will be sent to fall 2024 applicants by email. Interviews may also be scheduled via email admission@webb.org or calling the Webb Admission Team at (909) 482-5214. All interviews must be scheduled by December 21, 2023.

For those planning to submit a recorded video interview, specific video instructions will be sent once selected in the interview preference form. In order to submit a video interview, you must first have completed Part 1 of your Gateway to Prep application.

Note: The interview deadline for the fall 2024 academic year has now passed and interview scheduling is currently closed.
