BACKGROUND ON ONE CITY SCHOOLS

One City Schools is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit organization that provides high quality educational opportunities for young children. Our mission is to seed a new model of public education that ensures young children are on track to succeed in a college or career preparatory program from birth through high school graduation. Our vision is of a Greater Madison community where there are no persistent achievement and opportunity gaps, and where all children are prepared to contribute and succeed as adults. To this end, One City’s goal is to ensure young children are prepared to read, compute and succeed at grade level by the time they reach first grade. More importantly, we aim to partner with families and the broader community to cultivate children who become free, global and deep thinkers, curious learners, effective problem solvers, humanitarians, happy people and young people who care about the world around them.

Currently, One City operates three schools: One City Preschool, an accredited 5-star preschool serving children ages 1 - 3 and One City Elementary School, a public charter elementary school that presently enrolls children in 4K through fourth grade. One City Preparatory Academy, serving scholars from Grade 5-7 with the addition of 8th grade in 2024-2025. Both the Elementary and Preparatory Academy are in one building at 1707 W Broadway on the border between Madison and Monona, on a 13.5 acre campus and 160,000 square foot building currently undergoing renovations.

One City Preschool is accredited by the City of Madison and was awarded 5 (of 5) stars through Wisconsin's YoungStar Child Care Rating System. Our Preschool was awarded Best of Madison in Child Care in 2018.

One City Elementary School (OCES) is a unique, two-generation public school, authorized by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents, that provides a tuition-free education to children in grades 4K through Grade 4 on the border of Madison and Monona and works directly with families to ensure children are learning, inspired and making solid progress. We also have a longer school year (219 days vs 180 days in traditional public schools) and a longer school day (8:00 am to 4:30 pm daily), including co-curricular learning academies in Sports, Fitness, STEM and Creative and Performing Arts.

OCES is also an EL Education Network School, offering the highly regarded Expeditionary Learning curriculum in kindergarten through fourth grade (and eventually through grade 6). Our 4K program is built exclusively around the AnjiPlay program from Anji, China. AnjiPlay will also serve as a supplement to children in Kindergarten and above as well.
