Boarding students in grades 7-12 live in a supervised environment featuring four dormitories separated by gender and age. Our students live and learn under the guidance of our faculty house parents who monitor their academic progress and general well-being.

Boarding school students enjoy a variety of fun activities both on and off campus in addition to the academics typical of a challenging, independent college-preparatory school. These activities mostly take place during the weekend, but there are also opportunities during the week. Most boarding students are traditional 7-day boarding students, but there is a limited 5-day option for some students.

Facilities:
Webb has two male and two female dormitories. Students are assigned to a dorm on the basis of their grade. Each dorm has faculty members who support students in the dorm throughout the week. The dorm common rooms have a TV and DVD player along with computers and Internet connections. All dorms feature a wireless network.

Webb works to create an environment that encourages independence while providing its students with structure and support. Within the dorms is a network of faculty who are there not only to monitor, but also to offer advice and guidance to students who need it.

Activities:
With a variety of weekend activities from which to choose, boarders are never at a loss for something to do. Activities range from professional and college level sporting events and concerts in Nashville to white water rafting and trips to area malls and movie theaters. Each dorm plans its own activities, as well. The dorms will go out to dinner, watch movies, go bowling, or whatever everyone decides to do.
