In addition to academics, Waterford School has an arts program including photography, studio art, music and dance as well as a sports program which offers lacrosse, soccer, crew, basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, racquetball, tennis and golf.

[8] The school has won tens of hundreds of championships, and holds records in the Utah state for multiple sports.

The Deseret News[11] reported from Todd Winters, Dean of Admissions at the Waterford School, "the staff and administration are delighted by the recognition.

But he added that the rankings, like any evaluation of school performance, are based on a narrow set of criteria and do not necessarily tell a full story."

[14] There have been a few notable students that have graduated from The Waterford School (e.g. Sawyer Brooks, a Nasa Robotics Engineer; Lorna Balfour, an Emmy Award-Winning producer; Patrick Randak, a professional photographer in New York City; and George Matus, creator and founder of Teal Drones.)
