The Webb Schools (now often simply "Webb") is a private school for grades 9–12 located in Claremont, California. Up until 2024, it was separated into The Webb School of California for boys (established in 1922) and the Vivian Webb School for girls (established 1981). It is primarily a boarding school, but also enrolls a limited number of day students.
The school has a campus of approximately 150 acres (610,000 m2) in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. There are 405 students (as of the 2025–2026 school year) and 57 faculty members, of which the school reports that 25% hold doctorates, 90% hold advanced degrees, and 74% live on campus (as of 2018–2019). Annual tuition (as of 2025–2026) is $84,070 for boarding students and $59,790 for day students, including meals, books, and fees. Webb offers over $7 million in need-based aid to 32 percent of the families averaging $60,000 for boarding students and $40,000 for day students.
Until 2024, the majority of ninth- and tenth-grade classes were taught in a single-sex environment. Co-educational courses were introduced to upperclassmen. Since 2024, all classes have become co-educational.
