The Sage School was founded in 1990 in Foxborough (originally under the name the Sage Center for Learning) by Linda and Earl Beers with the express purpose of serving the needs of academically gifted students in the Greater Boston and Providence areas. They, along with a group of parents, realized that their children needed a school that understood the specific needs of gifted students with teachers who knew how to teach and to inspire these bright minds to their potential. Believing that a strong, more enriched academic program could be created, Sage opened its doors at that time with only eleven students.

By 1996, Sage had grown significantly due to the lack of adequate programs for gifted students. As such, the school reorganized and expanded its leadership to include a larger Board of Trustees and additional administrative roles. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Beers left Sage and the Director of Admission Jeanne Cummings was appointed Interim Head of School for the 1997-98 school year. Sage is eternally grateful to the Beers and Cummings families for their vision, leadership, and dedication during our formative years.

Since then, Sage has been directed by Heads of School and Boards of Trustees who contributed their own talents and counsel that enabled Sage to be the leader in gifted education.
