River City Science Academy (RCSA) is a model of excellence in STEM education, with a mission to bring out the best in every student in a nurturing and diverse environment. As part of our commitment to advancing the charter school movement, we had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Dogan Tozoglu, RCSA’s executive director, and take a closer look at the core principles and practices that make RCSA’s STEM program so special. As a school that represents excellence in STEM education in the state of Florida, RCSA is leading the way in advancing STEM education in the state.
