Empowering children to make a positive difference in the world

Your support brings the vision of Tara Redwood School to life.

Tara Redwood School provides a comprehensive educational program. Not only do we strive to help children come to know the joy of learning, we also provide a foundation for the emotional and inner development of each child through our Essential  (formerly Universal) Education Program.

The actual cost per student at Tara Redwood School annually runs from 10% to 20% higher than the tuition paid. Our main fundraising event is our annual auction that helps bridge this significant gap.  You too can help by donating to this most important effort with our children.
