The School is the Zoo

Imagine having a zoo on your campus. That is the reality for Millbrook School. What started in 1936 with faculty member Frank Trevor and his station wagon full of animals has evolved to become an AZA-accredited zoo filled with over 180 exotic and indigenous animals and endless hands-on learning experiences for Millbrook students.

Over the years, Trevor and the zoo have impacted hundreds of Millbrook students, including Tom Lovejoy. Lovejoy went on to become a leading international conversationist, much because of his experience at the Trevor Zoo. In 2025, Millbrook School renamed the Zoo to honor the relationship between the two: teacher and student. We focused on that concept to bring the identity into the 21st century.

Looking to the history of the zoo and its unique role at an independent school, we created a modern brand identity that resonates with the Millbrook School community as well as zoo-goers in the area.
