Teachers will construct learning expeditions that are of interests and importance to children and their future learning needs. Children will also have access to tools and resources in school and in the community that will enable them to build on their learning through self-discovery and play. It will be a fun time for your child and our teachers, alike.
One City’s teachers currently engage children in teacher-guided learning activities and projects, at all age levels, every day. However, as children get older, the projects they engage in become more complex and involve more in-depth learning in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science (STEM).
EL Education, formerly known as “Expeditionary Learning”, is an exciting whole-school educational program that enables us to involve all learners in a dynamic, creative, project-based and student-centered learning program that keeps children excited, engaged and appropriately challenged in the learning process.
Eureka Math² is a revolutionary math program designed to advance equity in the math classroom by helping students build enduring math knowledge based on a conceptual understanding of mathematics. Eureka Math² provides consistent math models, rigor to support the productive struggle, and coherence across grades. The curriculum utilizes digital interactives, increased opportunities for student discourse, and a new level of flexibility to make math instruction more teachable and engaging.
Scholars enrolled in One City Elementary School (OCES), in grades 5K and above, attend school for 219 days during their school year compared to scholars in other traditional public schools in Wisconsin that attend school for 180 days.
Our scholars begin school the first weekday in September and complete the last Friday in July of the following year, every year.
Our children typically attend school from 8:00 am to 4:30pm daily.
One City Schools offers a broad set of support to both scholars and families as part of its two-generational model.
For scholars, this includes a full range of Special Education services that are coordinated by our Special Education Department including speech and language pathology, occupational therapy services, and IEP administration and support.
One City’s Vice President of Family and Community Initiatives and team strive to pair scholars and families with opportunities that are beyond the scope of a typical school program. This includes organizing Families and Schools Together, an 8-week family engagement program that runs multiple cohorts throughout the school year. The team also organizes One City’s Extended Learning Academies, which expose scholars to a range of extra-curricular offerings during the school day.
All One City scholars have access to daily free meals (breakfast, lunch and afternoon/afterschool snack) through One City’s participation in USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision.
One City enhances its curriculum for children by offering 4 to 8-week co-curricular learning experiences that many parents without financial means cannot afford for their children.
We offer martial arts to support the development of strong character and positive self-discipline. We offer visual and performing arts, sports and fitness programs, and opportunities for children to engage in free-play with materials that inspire complex problem solving and group learning.
Our children will also learn to swim, ice skate and play soccer. They will learn yoga and mindfulness, and take field trips that build on their personal interests and learning in school.
