The Webb Schools are committed to equipping students to succeed in a world inundated by technological change. To fulfill that commitment, teachers and students often engage a traditional curriculum in very non-traditional ways. It is not unusual for Webb students to create and manage their lessons electronically. Textbooks, notebooks and pens are complemented by new tools of learning such as graphing calculators, interactive CD ROM and Internet access in every class and dormitory room. Annual Open House programs on November 13, 1999 and January 15, 2000 served as opportunities for over 400 visitors to get an up-close look at what high school in the new millennium can be all about. | |
