The Webb Schools are committed to integrating quality individualized education and comprehensive therapeutic services to students in grades K-12, by creating an environment that is safe, supportive, and respectful. The Webb Schools continue to be open to advances in the fields of education and mental health. We are proud to continue the tradition of innovation and quality as we develop programs to support students, their families and their school districts.


The Grace Webb School is looking for alternative modalities to provide support to our students such as art and music. Our students appear to thrive in environments that allow them to be actively involved and engaged in an activity that fosters creativity and allows them to put down their defenses and to interact in a genuine and meaningful way. Activities that include art and music provide a natural distraction that allows our students to be more open and more willing to express their thoughts and feelings through a safer and less vulnerable pathway. We have seen significant progress made with our most challenging students through the use of these modalities and are hoping to find ways to provide such opportunities to all students.

Volunteers can interact with elementary, middle or high school students.
