SHEBOYGAN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Sheboygan Leadership Academy is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Sheboygan Area School District school district, located in Sheboygan, WI with about 211 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 12 teachers, Sheboygan Leadership Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Sheboygan Leadership Academy (SLA) is a tuition-free, public charter school serving students in grades K–8. Located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the school is founded on the core belief that leadership is a skill set that can be taught, nurtured, and practiced. By integrating character development and civic responsibility into its daily curriculum, the academy aims to empower students to become proactive, accountable, and engaged citizens who are prepared for the challenges of high school and beyond.

The school is distinguished by its holistic approach to education, which balances rigorous academic standards with a focus on "The Leader in Me" framework—a program based on Stephen Covey’s *7 Habits of Highly Effective People*. Beyond the traditional classroom subjects, SLA emphasizes experiential learning, community service, and project-based assignments that encourage students to take ownership of their education. With a mission to foster both personal and academic excellence, Sheboygan Leadership Academy provides a structured yet supportive environment where students are challenged to lead themselves and contribute positively to their community.
