From the classrooms to the staff culture, @RocketshipEd is living proof that strong academic outcomes and deep character development go hand in hand. As part of our continued focus on character development at CSGF, we conducted a school visit, called a “Culture Round,” with Rocketship last week. We are grateful to the Rocketship team for opening their doors and modeling what’s possible when character and culture lead the way.
