  • The School Name
    Director of Admissions Knoxville, TN Founded in 1955 by Bob and Julie Webb, Webb School of Knoxville fulfilled Bob’s dream of founding a school in his hometown that emphasized honor, academic excellence, a strong foundation in the liberal arts, and the building of character and leadership. Webb School began with four students who met in a classroom at Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church in Knoxville. In the decades following its founding, Webb’s reputation steadily grew, as did its enrollment. The school continued to expand its campus and update its facilities to support its academic and co-curricular programs. In addition to its focus on rigorous academics, Webb also seeks to help shape the social and character development of its students. With a student- centered approach, Webb faculty endeavor to create a nurturing and challenging environment that educates the whole child. The school’s commitment to honor, integrity, and age-appropriate intellectual and physical stimulation in grades K-12 fosters a school community whose members are known for strength of character as much as academic achievement. In 2016, Webb launched a Junior Pre-K program and Fifth Grade Academy and has become one of the premier private, independent day schools in the Southeast. Current enrollment stands at 1,008. Webb’s expansive 110-acre campus provides state-of-the-art facilities and playing fields for the complete growth of each student. Each division occupies a separate part of the campus, the center of which is the main quad, with the library and cafeteria nearby. The campus also features an impressive science center, the international center, a 550-seat performing arts center, two libraries, three technology labs, three separate visual arts facilities, and dedicated classrooms for strings, instrumental, choral, and general music.
