We are excited that you will be joining us at Webb School of Knoxville this fall. Welcome! The information contained in this booklet will further introduce you to Webb School. It also offers key information to help our newest Spartans and their families get off to a great start.
For 70-plus years, Webb School of Knoxville has stood as a pillar of excellence in education. On the school’s opening day in 1955, Robert Webb, Webb School founder and first headmaster, told the school’s inaugural four students, “Your teachers will try to teach you to build strong bodies...train your intelligence...give you a strong sense of values so you will always know right from wrong. They will try very hard to teach you how to study, and last but not least, they will try to teach you how to think.” All of us at Webb continue to embrace the spirit and values embedded in Mr. Webb’s charge, especially as we welcome our newest Spartans to campus.
A s you begin your journey at Webb School, I recognize that change, while exciting, can also be challenging and worrisome. My family and I felt the same when we made our transition to Knoxville and to Webb School. But as my

CHAPEL
COMMUNITY MEETING
CONFERENCES
Each Upper and Middle School student is assigned to an advisory led by a faculty or staff advisor who is an advocate for his/her advisees–providing guidance and concern–and serves as the main liaison between the student and/or parent and the school. Middle School advisors and advisories change each year, while Upper School students generally retain the s ame advisor and group throughout high school.
ArtXtravaganza is Webb School’s annual art sale that features original artworks by nearly 70 professional artists from across the Southeast and beyond. Open to the public, it offers painting, jewelry, pottery, glass, sculpture, photography, and more. A portion of all sales supports Webb’s visual and performing arts.
Each morning, Middle School students and faculty gather with their advisories for morning Assembly, a tradition that builds community and sets a purposeful and positive tone for the day ahead.
Upper School Chapel develops a sense of community among s tudents and faculty, while sharing students’ diverse perspectives and voices. Faculty and students gather by advisory groups for student Chapel Talks, announcements, alumni speakers, and other special presentations.
An all-Lower School gathering to review the Lower School Creed, recognize birthdays, and focus on the month’s character value and ways to grow as individuals and as a community. These meetings foster connection, reinforce common principles, and provide an inspiring start to the day.
P arent conferences are scheduled throughout the academic year to help foster strong communication and collaboration between families, students, and faculty. Conferences provide an opportunity for parents, advisors, and teachers to share insights that support each student’s success and serve as a time to review student progress and plan for continued academic growth.

The college search process at Webb builds on our commitment to developing collaborative, culturally fluent thinkers. Throughout their college search process, Webb students are encouraged to articulate their values, consider what motivates them, and appreciate how their actions make a difference in the lives of others. This broad approach holds practical application as students learn to match their diverse personal and school experiences with the colleges they research and ultimately pursue.

From supporting teachers in the classroom to organizing school-wide events, our parents are all-stars!
The following are just a few of the numerous Webb events that depend on parent volunteers for their success:

Inspired by the Lower School tradition of presenting each Spartan senior with a string of origami cranes as a symbol of the support, care, and community at Webb, the Crane Society honors leadership donors who make annual gifts of $2,000 or more. Crane Society members play a vital role in sustaining Webb’s mission and are recognized in the school’s Impact Report, invited to special gatherings, and honored as donors of distinction across campus.
Webb’s Advancement Office supports the school’s mission by building relationships and connecting our community to opportunities that benefit all students.
In independent schools, advancement includes fundraising, parent involvement, alumni engagement, and community outreach. These efforts provide resources beyond tuition, supporting academic programs, faculty, student opportunities, and the school’s long-term strength.
Every building, program, and experience at Webb is enhanced by philanthropy, including gifts to the Webb Fund, support for special programs and facilities, and endowment gifts that sustain academics, faculty, and financial aid.
Webb’s Advancement Team also organizes events such as ArtXtravaganza, WebbFest, and alumni reunions, and supports programs that keep alumni connected while creating networking opportunities for students and graduates.
We invite every family to support the Webb Fund at a level that is meaningful to them, and we welcome the opportunity to connect about specific programs or projects that may inspire their philanthropic support.
At Webb School of Knoxville, every student is enriched by exceptional opportunities–from world-class teachers and dynamic academics to championship athletics and a thriving arts program. However, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of delivering this level of excellence. That’s where the Webb Fund comes in.
What is the Webb Fund?
TH E
Webb FUND
The Webb Fund is the school’s most important annual fundraising effort. It plays a critical role in supporting Webb’s operating budget and helps ensure that our programs remain strong, vibrant, and accessible. Gifts to the Webb Fund directly impact every student, every day.
A Look at the Numbers

Every Family, Every Year
We encourage all families to participate in the Webb Fund each year at a level that is meaningful and comfortable for them. Every gift matters. Every gift is an investment in our students and supports the experience of every Spartan at Webb. Gifts to the Webb Fund are tax-deductible, subject to prevailing tax laws.

Spartan athletics is an extension of Webb School’s classrooms–an environment where dynamic growth continues. Students deepen their understanding of hard work and commitment; of sacrificing for a team; of competing to bring out the best in themselves and their opponents; and of winning and losing with humility.
To reinforce these core values, Webb’s athletic department offers programs that promote sportsmanship, respect for the rules and one’s opponent, and the ability to handle both victory and defeat with grace. We strive to instill integrity, perseverance, responsibility, commitment, leadership, and respect in all student-athletes.
Each Spartan athlete gains an understanding of teamwork, discipline in a team setting, and the joy of competition, with an emphasis on participating in multiple sports. It’s all about the challenge–one that we enthusiastically embrace.
Webb’s athletics program offers over 70 teams in 17 different interscholastic sports for Middle School and Upper School students. If you have any questions about Spartan athletics, please email athletics@webbschool.org.
