We choose RGCS!
We made the decision to create Red Granite Charter School because we believe in the importance of allowing children to learn from the environment that surrounds them and in fostering a child's natural desire to discover and learn. We also believe in the power of choice and want to provide this choice to the Wausau community. We love that we get to choose outdoor environmental education for our family while also creating this option for other families. Ultimately, we believe in and support the entire Wausau community.
