Big Bold Future: An Enduring Impact for the SAR Jewish Community
SAR’s mission is to provide the very best education and experiences, believing that our students are an integral part of the future of the Jewish people. Our commitment to Torah values, academic excellence, and community engagement prepares students to thrive in the 21st century and to take their place as Jewish leaders and active community members. The Big Bold Future campaign builds upon this foundation, ensuring that SAR continues to be a beacon of Jewish education for generations to come.
Expanding Opportunities for Our Students
The Big Bold Future campaign will revitalize 22,000 square feet of existing space and add 56,000 square feet of new construction at the High School. These enhancements will directly impact our students’ academic, spiritual, social, and physical development.
Key projects include:

The SAR Academy Middle School expansion is nearing completion in the Spring of 2025! This Big Bold Future project adds nearly 10,000 square feet, providing six new classrooms and a beautiful communal tefillah space with stunning views of the Hudson River and direct access to Gan Ilan.
