The school model
Étude High School is a tuition-free public charter school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The school is experiential, mastery-based, and intentionally small.
Students learn through a model that emphasizes habits, public demonstrations, and evidence of growth. The goal is not just to finish assignments, but to develop the practices that help students keep learning.
What gets measured
Étude names both Habits of Mind and Habits of Professionalism as part of its learning model. Those habits sit alongside academic work and public exhibitions of learning.
That creates a broader view of readiness. Students are asked to show how they think, work, revise, and present, not only whether they completed a course.
Why the transcript matters
Canopy describes Étude as using the Mastery Transcript as the official summative record for some or all graduates, or supplementing the legacy transcript with the MTC Learning Record.
That flexibility matters for a public charter. The school can keep its learner-centered model while giving families and outside readers a record they can understand.
What this proves
Étude shows that mastery records can support a small public charter without flattening its learning design. Habits, exhibitions, and evidence can all become part of the student story.
