Springboard licensed its curriculum from Rithm and Colt Steele so while it doesn’t get constant updates like at Rithm the raw curriculum is decent. You learn a little more at your own pace and watch videos rather than attend lectures and work with others. Review is done by industry mentors who are paid to help, which has its pros and cons. Codesmith for example has the senior students mentor the junior students, and the Fellows mentor and teach, and then hires back former students as instructors. Springboard has mentors that work in the industry. Industry mentors have more insight into what is important on the job, but current and former students might be better at actually teaching. Rithm is in the middle, small classes, experienced and good instructors, solid curriculum. I would say Springboard is more akin to Launch School than the other two options.
