Eagle School Of Madison Inc

What Eagle School Of Madison Inc does

Eagle School of Madison Inc (DBA: EAGLE School) is an independent, nonprofit K-8 school operating under 501(c)(3) tax status in Fitchburg/Madison, Wisconsin. It is purpose-built to serve gifted and talented students, with an admissions process that requires an IQ assessment (WISC-V, Stanford-Binet, or WPPSI-IV) and is currently accepting applications for Fall 2026. The school employs approximately 22 staff, including on-site counselors, and offers an integrated program of accelerated academics, athletics (MAISL league), music and arts, academic competitions (Science Olympiad, MathCounts, National History Day), and a French exchange partnership with École Georges Gusdorf in Paris.

The school's revenue model is diversified across four streams: annual tuition of $16,900 per student plus recurring fees (building fee, EPO dues, shared supply fee), summer camps at $200/session open to non-enrolled students, donations and planned giving under 501(c)(3) status, and tiered corporate sponsorship and rebate programs. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a school website (eagleschool.org), the EAGLEnet LMS (Myschoolapp), school tours, parent visit days, and the weekly Aerie-Gram newsletter; marketing relies on community referrals and word-of-mouth rather than paid acquisition.

The school is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors (Chair Wendy Johnson, plus John Stoneman, Mary Olsky, Matt Thiel, Manish Patankar, Ellen Bunn) and currently led by Director Andy Wright, who has announced his retirement effective June 2027. The school receives no government funding, has no parent company, and is in the process of a structured director search facilitated by Educators Collaborative. Student outcomes are documented through regional and international competition results, including an alumnus named Absolute Winner at the 2026 European Physics Olympiad.
