Who We Are
R G C S
Approved by the Wausau School Board in Fall 2022, Red Granite Charter School opened its doors in Fall 2024 to grades Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grade.
Our Mission
Red Granite Charter School nurtures each child individually and empowers them through a holistic education. Our commitment is to foster a life-long love of learning and critical thinking by keeping kids engaged with the outdoors, one another, and the world around them. We provide a safe and supportive learning environment in which every child is equal and all are welcome.
Our Vision
Our work is to build a foundation for life-long learning and integrity for our students. We seek to send into the world confident, curious and independent thinkers who will lead a life of purpose, contribution and direction.
“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility – these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
— Rudolf Steiner
