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.

At SAR, chesed isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live.
The Kehila Initiative empowers our 8th graders to take the values and middot they’ve been developing and apply them in meaningful ways within our broader community.
Over the course of this cohort, our students engaged in volunteer efforts beyond the classroom, heard from inspiring guest speakers about chesed and community organizing, and learned from SAR High School students about the many ways they can continue their chesed journey. We also introduced family Kehila initiatives, strengthening the power of giving across generations.
The program recently culminated as our 8th graders shared their experiences with the 7th grade, studied Torah sources on chesed, and participated in a hands-on chesed experience together.
🙌 Thank you to our students, families, and partners who make this initiative possible. Your investment in chesed shapes not only this program but the character of our community.
🎬 Watch highlights from this meaningful program!
💬 Share your feedback to help us continue strengthening the Kehila Initiative for future cohorts.
