Learning at SAR
SAR is dedicated to the philosophy that every child possesses a divine spark, has unique worth as an individual, and should be encouraged to achieve according to his or her ability. Students are guided to take risks, to be creative, and to develop their academic skills. We believe learning happens both in and out of the classroom and open our students’ minds to history, literature, math, science, tefillah, gemara, and medinat yisrael – all through the lens of torah. Our learning environment promotes an open thinking, boundless energy, and a warm, inclusive atmosphere.
ELC
At the Early Learning Center (ELC), SAR’s school for children ages 2-6, we create a joyous and loving Jewish environment filled with experiential learning, passionate and nurturing teachers, Hebrew immersion, and STEAM-focused curricula.
Academy
In grades 1-8, we open our students’ minds to history, literature, math, science, tefillah, Medinat Yisrael–all through the lens of Torah. We nurture in our children the understanding that Torah informs who we are in all of our interactions, and how we hold ourselves in the world.

Tefilot for Israel - 05/17/24
This week, our school community commemorated Yom HaZikaron and celebrated Yom ...Ha'atzmaut in meaningful ways. With 132 hostages still in captivity and our chayalim actively fighting, these days hold profound significance as we honor their sacrifices and celebrate Am Yisrael’s unity and resilience.
This year’s Yom HaZikaron was especially poignant as we remembered those lost on and since October 7th, including members of our extended SAR family.
In Sunday’s Riverdale Jewish Community Partnership tekes, we joined the broader community in honoring the brave chayalim who sacrificed their lives defending Medinat Yisrael and those senselessly lost to terror.
Monday was a solemn day of tribute with special programming of remembrance and connection with IDF heroes from our community. We thank them for their service and protection of Am Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael.
On Tuesday, we transitioned to a joyous celebration of Yom Ha'atzmaut, beginning with a musical Hallel on the steps and a joyous and uplifting gathering on the field, highlighted by our 6th-grade daglanut troupe. The day included a competitive and fun Israel-themed Maccabiah for grades 1-5, Beit Sefer Lamusika, and a trip to Van Cortlandt Park for our middle school.
It was inspiring to see our students connect with Medinat Yisrael in proud and heartfelt ways throughout the week. 🇮🇱✨
