The purpose of schooling is for all students to learn to use their minds and hearts well. Students learn best in schools where they are well known, where expectations are high, support is strong, and where their voice and their parents’ voices are valued. The mission of Rocketship Mateo Sheedy is to recognize all of these values and ensure that the students are empowered to learn, lead, and be positive and productive members of their community.

Rocketship students will develop a deep love of reading.
Rocketship will provide the parents of San Jose with a path for their children to take in order to have the best chance to attend a four-year college.
Rocketship will encourage our alumni to return to San Jose and become leaders in their community.
