GENERAL OVERVIEW
One City Preparatory Academy (OCPA) is a unique 6th-12th grade
school that combines the features of an EL Education Network School
and an Early College and Career Model. OCPA will offer the highly
regarded Expeditionary Learning curriculum in sixth through eighth
grades and a blended high school, college, and career experience in
high school. It is also a unique, two-generation public school,
authorized by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents,
that provides a tuition-free education to children, and works
directly with families to ensure children are inspired, learning,
growing, and achieving to their full potential. OCPA begins its
first year of operation in September of 2022 with sixth grade,
ninth grade, and tenth grade while One City Elementary School
(Grades 4K-5) will enter its fifth year with the addition of fifth
grade. One City Schools is the only public school in Wisconsin that
offers both a longer school day (8:15 am to 4:45 pm for the middle
school) and longer school year (219 days vs 180 days in traditional
public schools).
In Fall of 2021, we moved into our permanent home, a $12 million
facility located at 1707 W. Broadway in Monona, Wisconsin, a small
city located on the South Side of our capital city. This 13.5 acre
campus includes a 157,000 school facility that will serve 888 K-12
scholars by 2024. The campus is situated just 5 blocks from Lake
Monona, just north of Lake Waubesa, and 10 minutes from downtown
Madison.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
One City Preparatory Academy is seeking its founding teachers and
coaches for the 2022-23 school year. Beginning with grades 6, 9,
and 10, the school will grow in 2023-24 to grades 6-7 and 9-11,
then in 2024-25 to 6-12. The middle school program at One City
Preparatory Academy is an interdisciplinary, student-centered,
project-based learning experience in a school organized around the
principles of community and equity. In high school, the program is
focused on preparation for college or career through a blended high
school, college, and career program. Emphasis for both middle and
high school is placed not just on academic skill development, but
also on individual and community character skills such as empathy,
flexibility, curiosity, and grit. Our scholars are taught how to be
lifelong learners and thinkers, equipped to approach unpredictable
challenges ahead.
The Pleasant T. Rowland Leadership Campus, our new home at 1707 W
Broadway, borders Madison and Monona and includes large outdoor
space that will be developed into usable exploration space. Inside
the building we are developing innovative spaces including
everything from a beauty/barber salon, to a student-run DJ booth,
coffee shop, school store, and Summit Credit Union branch, to
teacher training suites where new teachers can learn from seasoned
professionals through one-way glass.
In our longer school day and longer school year model, we have the
ability to be flexible and innovative with schedule and program. We
are seeking educators eager to build a school and a program
designed to meet the needs of historically underrepresented
communities.

We support and celebrate one another and take responsibility for
our words and actions, acknowledging that we shape the lives of
others in our community.
We work hand-in-hand with parents and the broader community to

challenges and provide effective leadership in our state and
globally.

community and serve as role models, mentors and problem solvers.

compassion and risk-taking. One City scholars, to put it simply,

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are more than just words for One

and families we serve, and empowers all to bring their full,
authentic selves to school each day. Currently, 60% of our staff
and 87% of our scholars identify as Black, Brown, Asian, Hispanic,
Latino, and/or multi-racial. One City Schools is designed to
prepare ALL students for success in school, career, and life,
particularly the Black, Brown, Hispanic, Latino, and low-income
scholars in the Madison community and beyond, who have been
historically underserved in traditional school environments.

many as 72 scholars in Grade 6 and 96 in each of Grades 9 and 10,

drawn to build a state of the art Athletics Facility in the near
future to help support all of our athletic programs. Programs will
expand as OCPA grows and will always center on our mission and
vision.
