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 - Yom HaShoah - 05/06/24
We opened this morning’s Yom HaShoah program with the sound of the siren and ...a moment of silence, as students in Grades 3-8 gathered on the steps. We were privileged to welcome survivors, children and grandchildren of survivors to light nerot zikaron in memory of the six million.
Singing Ani Ma’amin and Acheinu together with our students was a powerful and uplifting moment for all of us. We concluded with Hatikvah, transitioning us towards a hopeful future.
Throughout the day, students in grades 3-8 had the unique opportunity to hear the personal stories of the Shoah directly from our visitors. The Middle School also participated in a beautiful program today which combined singing and text to help remind us of those who perished. Every hour, students and faculty stood in silence to honor and remember the six million as we recited the names of SAR family members who perished in the Holocaust.
Thank you to all who participated in our tekes and spoke to our students today.
This morning, at the first part of our Yom Hashoah program, our students had ...the privilege to hear the testimony from SAR grandparent, survivor Ms. Gabriella Major. She shared with us her heartbreaking and incredible story and left our students with the empowering message of activism in the face of adversity. Her speech was followed by a beautiful choir performance. Students then lit candles in memory of relatives who perished in the Shoah and shared a little about their life story. #onlyatthehive #neverforget
