Founded in 1870 by noted scholar William R. "Old Sawney" Webb, The Webb School is the South's oldest continuously operating boarding school. We offer a college-preparatory education for grades 6-12. Our small private boarding school community comprised of 320 boarding school and day school students and emphasis on honor truly creates the Character of Home.

Hannah's Educational Philosophy
It is my desire to connect with learners as individuals to provide for differentiated learning styles and ultimately facilitate self-motivated, life-long learning. By connecting with learners, I hope to understand and to be understood. To connect I must always be aware of my learners needs and to use the idiom “wavelength”. I will treat learners as individuals. Each learner is a unique person. I will by no means stereotype a learner by choice of friends, or socio-economic background. I will provide for differentiated learning styles. I acknowledge that there are multiple learning styles and I will provide for all learning styles without partiality towards my own learning style. Rather than simply informing of skill or information through lecture, I will find and develop ways to facilitate or “make easy” the learning process. I will encourage self-motivated learning. Learning that is moved to action with internal incentives as opposed to external incentives. I will promote life-long learning. I will help learners to continue learning for a lifetime.
