Founded by renowned educator and United States Senator William R. “Sawney” Webb, The Webb School is the oldest continuously operating boarding school in the South. Webb offers a co-educational college preparatory education for grades 6-12 in historic Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Our close-knit community of 405 boarding and day students, coupled with our emphases on honor and integrity, truly create a “Character of Home.”® Our mission is “to turn out young people who are tireless workers, and who know how to work effectively; who are accurate scholars; who know the finer points of morals and practice them in their daily living; who are always courteous.” These guiding principles have been in place and unchanged for 152 years. They provide direction and guidance even today as we offer a world-class education to our students that prepares them to lead productive and successful lives.
