Millwood School is proud to support all students.  We strive to meet students where they are in their self-discoveries and support their acquisition of awareness of similarities and differences between themselves and their classmates.  We are currently collaborating with the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities (VCIC) to educate ourselves as empathetic and compassionate adult role models for students.  VCIC will also work with small groups of students throughout the year in order to continue to grow a sense of belonging throughout the entire Millwood community.

Our primary goal is to create an environment where every student feels valued and respected, regardless of their background. Millwood School is committed to fostering a culture of understanding and appreciation for different perspectives and experiences.

How will VCIC work with Millwood School? In August, Alejandro Prince, Director of Educational Programs, came to Millwood to host a 3-hour professional development workshop with Millwood faculty and staff.  There will be a second workshop during the school year.  During the 2024-2025 school year, there will be four student leader workshops and an hour-long parent and family workshop.  We have contracted with the professionals at VCIC to have consultation time throughout each month, as well.
