Our School sports program (grades 6-10)  is one of emerging prominence in the leagues in which we compete. Boys' soccer and girls’ field hockey are offered in the fall. Boys' and girls' basketball teams compete during the winter months. Boys’ baseball and girls' soccer are played in the spring. Our students are invited to participate each year in a track meet for area independent schools. The Millwood Roadrunners team (for students in grades 5-10) trains for and runs in the UKROP’s 10k Monument Ave Run every spring, while raising money for ASK, a children’s cancer charity.
 
Athletics are an important part of the overall educational program for all our students at Millwood School, and provide another dimension of education. The program strives to develop in students positive values and habits so that personal growth and development occurs. Preparing students to succeed in their future endeavors is a primary priority of the athletic program. Sound athletic programs teach young people values and lifelong skills such as accountability, sportsmanship, confidence, leadership skills, organizational skills, persistence, work ethic, self-discipline, social skills, teamwork, performing under pressure, the ability to take instruction, and striving for excellence. Millwood School's athletics programs are designed with the development of these qualities in mind.

The Athletics program plays a unique role in joining the school and community. Civic pride and identification with Millwood School are results of athletic participation that can last a lifetime. The athletics department aspires to generate community and school pride in all of those students who choose to participate.

The Millwood School athletics department strives to provide a learning environment where students may experience problems and situations similar to those that may be encountered in later life. The environment provides natural opportunities for students to grow as follows:

• Develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
• Develop such concepts as loyalty, cooperation, fair play, dedication, and self- discipline through team play.
• Develop special skills appropriate for each sport and the student's physical ability.
• Develop self-motivation, excellence, responsibility, and academic development.
• Develop worthy use of leisure time in later life, either as a participant or spectator.
• Develop wholesome attitudes toward competition and sportsmanship.
• Develop the ability to make the best choices with their time and energy.
