They may review material, work ahead on new topics, or even discuss a topic unrelated to class. Webb faculty, like Webb students, represent a rich variety of cultural and educational backgrounds, yet they share a common commitment to the pursuit of academic excellence and sound character development. This commitment manifests itself in small classes, the advisor system, and the bond that forms between faculty and students. Webb's advisor system forms an integral part of student life. It provides each student with the opportunity to build a special relationship with an adult in the community.
Advisors are genuinely interested in the lives of their advisees.
They eat lunch with their advisees three times a week and keep in close touch to assist with academic and personal progress. Additionally, they serve as liaisons between the school, the students, and their families. Finally, advisors act as confidants and friends. They provide adult support in times of academic and emotional need. The respect and affection which develop between the students and the faculty are evident.
