What Edgewood Campus School does

Edgewood Campus School (ECS) is a private Catholic K-8 school located at 829 Edgewood College Drive in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 1881 by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa and currently sponsored by Dominican Veritas Ministries following a September 2023 institutional transfer. ECS serves students from 4-year-old kindergarten through 8th grade on a 55-acre shared campus with Edgewood High School and Edgewood College, drawing families from across Madison and more than fifteen surrounding Dane County communities. The school offers a college-preparatory curriculum rooted in Dominican values (truth, compassion, justice, community, partnership), with special subjects in art, music, technology, physical education, Spanish, library, and social-emotional learning, plus enrichment in band, musical production, leadership, chess, athletics, and global service learning via a partnership with a school in Tanzania dating to 1990.

The school operates on a tuition-based model at $11,760 per student per year (uniform across all grades) with payment options of full payment, two installments, or ten monthly installments via FACTS, supplemented by need-based financial aid through a February 1 to March 15, 2026 application window. Ancillary recurring and transactional revenue streams include an After School Program ($50 family registration plus $15/hour), Summer Enrichment camps ($200 half-day, $400 full-day), a $68/year optional milk program, hot lunch via TnT Catering, and donations through the ECS Fund (the 2025 Day of Giving raised over $86,000). Technology infrastructure is standard education stack: Google Apps for Education, RenWeb/FACTS for SIS and tuition management, Renaissance STAR 360 for tri-annual assessment, and a 1:1 Chromebook program for grades 6-8. Enrollment is managed directly through a Director of Recruitment and Enrollment using RenWeb's application portal, with sibling priority and Edgewood-affiliation preference driving wait-list placement.

Governance is exercised by a Board of Trustees (led by Board Chair Porter Martin and Principal Dianne Metz as operating head), with 36 total employees supporting the academic, operational, and advancement functions of the school. The institution is separately incorporated from its sister schools Edgewood High School and Edgewood College, each of which maintains its own board, while sharing physical facilities and a long-standing educational pathway.

Broad incumbents
