This is achieved by learning the student's social, sensory, emotional, and academic needs. In addition to the academy's elementary and middle school section, also offered is middle and high school remediation, a program serving 12- to 21-year-olds to build and expand on reading and math skills, as well as a peer tutor program. Five-week summer sessions are available, as well.

Webb Bridge Middle School's honors continue with its designation as a Blue Ribbon School in 2010, several Lighthouse designations and honors for Principal Elizabeth Fogartie.
The school focuses on the four A's: academics, the arts, athletics and altruism. Artwork decorates the halls and classrooms. School successes are an opportunity to share the good will; the school-wide celebrations of its national Blue Ribbon designation are a recent example.
The school may be the only North Fulton middle school with an outdoor amphitheater. According to a profile developed by Fogartie, the school is named for the nearby bridge spanning Big Creek. The bridge, in turn, was named for several Webb families who have lived in the area since the 1840s.
