We were in for a wonderful surprise! The campus is beautiful... Set in a suburban, quaint area. there are actually several colleges and they share somewhat the same space. Each one is within a few minutes of walking distance from each other. Our tour guide painted a wonderful, all-around picture of the CMC college experience... Although my husband and I were only accompanying two of my students for college tours this summer, we both felt that had we known about CMC when we were in high school, we would have both applied. CMC seems and feels like a welcoming campus that strives to provide all CMC students an authentic college experience. Throughout the tour, the tour guide emphasized that CMC did NOT want money to be the reason why prospective students chose NOT to come here nor did it want money to be the reason why current CMC students don't enjoy college. We just LOVED CMC!

The Farm is so fun--clearly students have put in some effort to cultivate many mini gardens with succulents, flowering ground cover, some fruit trees, a compost pile, and more. There's a large structure in the middle with a Hobbit hole style mini entrance door and then benches, chairs, and many alcoves, a high ceiling with colored glass windows --it seems to be a cool resting place when people working the grounds need a break. It was at least 10 degrees cooler in there! On the way back to the car, we passed through the studio art building. The courtyard housed several student art pieces carved and structured of wood--fascinating!

I attended Webb years ago, and to this day, I would never wish the experience I endured on anyone else. While the school hides behind shiny brochures and overused buzzwords like "diversity," "inclusion," and "excellence," the reality is far more disturbing. For both students and employees--especially those who aren't white or come from ultra-wealthy backgrounds--Webb can be an isolating, dismissive, and downright toxic environment. Let's start with the obvious: this school preys on money. Just like many elite private institutions, Webb doesn't truly care about nurturing students--they care about who can fund their next building project or bring in prestige for marketing purposes. If you're from a family that can't afford legal backup or extra donations, you're disposable. They claim to provide financial aid, but the way they treat students who receive it is another story entirely. They may let you through the door, but don't expect to be treated like an equal once you're inside. What makes it worse is their performative obsession with "diversity." The administration is quick to throw around stats and statements about how "inclusive" they are, but the minute a person of color speaks up, questions something, or dares to stand out, the school turns cold--fast. You'll be labeled "difficult," "aggressive," or "not a fit." It's incredibly clear that their idea of "diversity" is palatable silence, not empowered individuals with a voice. And favoritism? Rampant. There were students who could do no wrong because of who their parents were or how much they donated. Meanwhile, others--especially those who didn't have the same socioeconomic status or cultural background--were constantly scrutinized, left out of opportunities, and punished more harshly for things that the "favorites" got away with daily. Bullying is a major issue here, and perhaps the most telling sign of what kind of school this really is. I witnessed students being tormented--some openly, some quietly--but the administration? Silent. Inaction was their default. In fact, many students felt like they couldn't report things because they knew nothing would come of it. Honestly, it felt like the people running the school were the biggest bullies of all. Their silence and gaslighting did more damage than anything the students could've done. This environment is not just flawed--it's unsafe for anyone who doesn't fit the image Webb wants to present to the outside world. If you're a student of color, please think twice. If you're an employee hoping for an inclusive, supportive workplace--run. They burn out good people and reward those who keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Any challenges to the status quo are seen as threats. I've carried the weight of my experience at Webb for years. I was a student who hoped for guidance, growth, and belonging. What I got was exclusion, manipulation, and the clear message that I didn't belong. This school doesn't build character--it erodes it. It doesn't uplift--it suppresses. If you're looking at Webb as a potential school for your child or workplace for yourself, I urge you to dig deeper than the polished surface. Ask the hard questions. Talk to people who left. Don't fall for the diversity page on their website. And above all--believe it when people like me say: The Webb Schools are not what they claim to be.

In math and sciences, Webb embraces "problem based learning" -- but they have done it in a very…read moresimplistic and ultimately counterproductive way. Their idea is that they just set problems and the students have to figure out how to solve them on their own. In short, their teaching is minimalistic. I have heard teachers complain about this. In some cases it means no textbook to read up on, no explanatory lectures and even minimal assistance during office hours. Most of the time, if you ask a question, you're told to try to figure it out yourself, as if it's violating some pedagogic principle to actually teach you. So you're paying a lot of money for what amounts to going online and trying to teach yourself what they are supposed to be teaching you. Seems like a weird way to run a school. Fortunately you can't do humanities this way, so the humanities courses and teachers are a lot better. Hopefully someday soon they will snap out of this approach. It's too late for me.

The coffee is free, brewed with commercial machines, with a myriad of different flavors available. I'm talking caramel, mint, chocolate, and then there are coffee condiments as well! I don't even like coffee and this place makes me want to drink it! There is also free tea. There is a donation box which any decent person would be happy to give to in order to continue this school's free coffee program. The wifi is also open, and very fast, the lounge is well lite, has lots of comfy chairs and couches. And is extremely, extremely quite. It's like no one in Claremont knows of this place except for the faculty! This is an excellent meeting spot to get work done.

It requires staff to sign an oath not to teach anything that conflicts with their faith, which I find deeply concerning. In my view, educators should be free to provide instruction based on established science and broad academic standards rather than being restricted by religious doctrine. Personally, I feel this approach stifles open inquiry and critical thinking, and I don't believe such policies foster a healthy learning atmosphere. If you value a well-rounded education guided by evidence-based teaching, you may want to look elsewhere.
