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.
