SAR Academy Totally Explained

Everything about Sar Academy totally explained

SAR Academy is a coeducational, private Modern Orthodox Jewish day school. The school is located in the Riverdale section of the New York City borough of the Bronx.
   Its name derives from the three schools which merged to form it, Salanter (named after Rabbi Yisrael Salanter), Akiba, and the Riverdale Academy, all Orthodox Yeshiva day schools. The schools merged in 1968 and adopted the current name.
   The founding Principal was Rabbi Sheldon Chwat, who was followed by former Assistant Principal Rabbi Yonah Fuld, who was then succeeded by then assistant principal Rabbi Joel Cohn; all of whom subsequently moved to Israel. The Principal since the 2005-06 academic year has been Rabbi Binyamin Krauss, who is helped by associate principals Sharon Richter, Milly Rosner, Rabbi Menachem Linzer (who transferred from the Ramaz School in 2005), and Rabbi Moshe Drelich.
   The school is closely affiliated with SAR High School, which is headed by the former assistant principal of the Academy, Rabbi Naphtali Harcsztark, and is made up mostly of students from the elementary school.
   The SAR Academy building has no walls and features an ultra modern floorplan that has received many awards for architecture, design and programming.
