Sturgis Charter Public is a public charter school serving students in the Cape Cod region of Massachusetts, with its main campus in Hyannis, the commercial hub of Barnstable County. The school operates under a charter granted by the state, which gives it greater autonomy over curriculum and governance than traditional district schools while remaining tuition-free and open to residents through a lottery admissions process. Cape Cod is known for its coastline, tourism, and year-round seasonal character, and the region's communities range from village centers to quiet residential neighborhoods. Historically, the Cape was among the earliest areas of European settlement in New England, with Hyannis developing into a center of transportation and commerce for the surrounding towns.
