Here at The Étude Group of Schools, IDEAS Academy, The Mosaic School, and Elementary School for Arts and Academics, we value not only the community within our walls, but what impact we make as individuals and as a group in our larger community. Through project-based learning, we can situate our academic learning into real-life, relevant issues in our community like monarch migration, native species awareness, and high school health. If this is something you value, we'd like you to consider supporting us in our mission.

The first grade students of ESAA have spent the trimester exploring the question, “Why are monarch butterflies important?” Butterfly habitats, conservation, and the environment in general is an extremely relevant topic at the moment and also provides many opportunities to incorporate science, literacy, movement, and music.

The Avett Brothers November 8th, 2015 played to a sold-out, high-energy crowd at the Stefanie H. Weill Center in Downtown Sheboygan. This concert marked the second performance of Season Three of The Étude Sessions and the first held at the venue.
*We'd like to introduce you to our Season Three sponsors!*
On October 28, the IDEAS Academy Human Anatomy and Physiology class put on their Health Fair. Students spent the six weeks of the class choosing a health topic to create a project that could help to educate the school. Among topics chosen were family health history, vaccinations, teen pregnancy, and bicycle safety.
Since the beginning of school, the Energy class at Mosaic has been learning about Energy Transfers and how animals and plants support each other in their natural habitats in Wisconsin. At school, students developed a body of knowledge and good field practices to take with them to Maywood Environmental Park to help them create, from their own observations, a food web for native animals in Wisconsin and a better understanding of the balance of ecosystems.
If you have recently gone through Door 8, the door at the very back of the school, you may have noticed a new work of art on the wall. This piece was created by each ESAA student to represent the school as a group of individuals, classrooms and the school community as a whole. This was the first time a school-wide art project has been attempted at ESAA using observations and thinking routines with a professional work of art as inspiration.
