As a charter school working out of the core principles of Public Waldorf Education, Red Granite supports the development of the whole child. In light of this, the Red Granite curriculum is designed to develop the children’s capacities for physical well-being, strength and coordination, emotional and social depth and connectivity, and for creative, free, and clear thinking.
