Our graduates will continuously develop their relationship with God, opening themselves to the mystery and wonder of the world. תורה וחכמה Students will be devoted to exploring the language, practice and outlook of the two cultures within which they live. Our graduates will dedicate time in their day for Torah study and intellectual inquiry. They will shape Jewish life, create Jewish culture and contribute to the broader society. מדינת ישראל The creation of the State of Israel is one of the seminal events in Jewish history. Recognizing the significance of the State and its national institutions, we seek to instill in our students an attachment to the State of Israel and its people as well as a sense of responsibility for their welfare. אהבת הזולת Students will cultivate a caring and compassionate disposition and respond to the needs of their school, family, and community. They will develop the skills to work with others toward common goals. Our graduates will act in a spirit of courage and selflessness for social justice and the betterment of Israel. צלם אלוקים Students will recognize their unique strengths and talents and value the contributions of others. They will demonstrate courage of thought and action. Our graduates will act with honesty and integrity, being true to themselves as individuals. 3 Our Mission & Philosophy of Learning A Community of Learners SAR High School is a co-educational community of learners in which all members of the school, students and faculty alike, interact in ways that reflect respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to Torah and mitzvot. All students are empowered to make meaningful choices in their learning and in the life of the school that help them grow as decision-makers and responsible citizens. The success of this community relies on the shared practice of a common set of principles, or habits of mind, that continually inform our thinking and behavior. These include tolerance, trust, courage, integrity and concern. Across grades, within the classroom and within each advisory, SAR High School fosters an appreciation of every individual’s unique strengths and an embracing of the importance of the common good. Principles of Learning SAR High School is a community of learners that recognizes the unique needs and potentials of each individual. The school is committed to maximizing student achievement by: • Challenging all students as learners and responsible citizens. Clear standards of performance will guide students in mastering essential knowledge and skills as well as developing the habits of mind for successful learning. • Engaging students in tasks that have meaning to them as individuals. Because learning is a highly personal and transformational experience, students are valued as decision makers. • Fostering a climate of active learning in which each student is a producer as well as consumer of knowledge, and the teacher is valued as model and coach. • Developing the interpersonal and group skills essential for lifelong problem solving. Collaboration is an important focus of a classroom in which every learner is both included and needed. 4 TELEPHONE DIRECTORY 2014-2015 Main Number 718-548-2727 Fax Number 718-548-4400 Administration Rabbi Tully Harcsztark Principal 1501 [email protected] Dr. Mark Shinar Director of General Studies 1502 [email protected] Nancy Lerea Associate Principal 1503 [email protected] Lisa Schlaff Director of Judaic Studies 1516 [email protected] Rabbi Aaron Frank Associate Principal 1504 [email protected] Allan Houben Assistant Principal 1528 [email protected] Grade Level Coordinators Tamar Krieger Grade Nine 1520 [email protected] Michelle Hoch Grade Ten 1509 [email protected] Lisa Birnbaum Grade Ten 1518 [email protected] Gloria Schneider Grade Eleven 1574 [email protected] Alicia Germano Grade Twelve 1519 [email protected] Shuli Taubes Grade Twelve 1519 [email protected] Psychologists Dr. Russell Hoffman [email protected] 1510 Dr. Michelle Humi [email protected] 1578 High School Office Staff Russi Bohm School Nurse 1511 [email protected] Nava Cohen Administrative Assistant 1505 [email protected] Dahlia Goldbrenner Administrative Assistant 1500 [email protected] 5 TELEPHONE DIRECTORY 2014-2015 Main Number 718-548-2727 Fax Number 718-548-4400 Michelle Hoch Director of Operations 1509 [email protected] Gila Kolb Registrar & Associate Director of Admissions 1576 [email protected] College Guidance Michael Courtney Director of College Counseling 1514 [email protected] Lisa Birnbaum Assistant Director of College Counseling 1513 [email protected] Cari Cohen Assistant Director of College Counseling 1529 [email protected] Marjorie Jacobs Consultant to College Counseling Department 1508 [email protected] Ann Morhaime Administrative Assistant 1577 [email protected] Israel Guidance Lisa Birnbaum [email protected] 1513 Rabbi Akiva Block [email protected] 1515 Laura Frank [email protected] —- Karen Goldscheider [email protected] —- Rabbi Shua Lindenbaum [email protected] 1515 Shuli Taubes [email protected] 1519 Business Office Debra May Executive Director 1200 [email protected] Geet Engel Director of Finance 1265 [email protected] Heidi Greenbaum Director of Development 1256 [email protected] 6 Welcome to SAR High School 2014-2015 Our Mission & Philosophy of Learning ...................................................

  • Early Steps Celebration 30Th Anniversary Thursday, May 18, 2017 the University Club New York, NY
    Benefit Early Steps Celebration 30th Anniversary Thursday, May 18, 2017 The University Club New York, NY Early Steps 540 East 76th Street • New York, NY 10021 www.earlysteps.org • 212.288.9684 Horace Mann School and all of our Early Steps students and families, past and present, join in celebrating Early Steps’ 30 Years as A Voice for Diversity in NYC Independent Schools Letter from our Director Dear Friends, For nearly three decades, it has been my joy and re- sponsibility to guide the parents of children of color through the process of applying to New York City in- dependent schools for kindergarten and first grade, helping them to realize their hopes and dreams for their children. While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • The Psychology Externship
    The Psychology Externship INTRODUCTION The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) Student Counseling Center Externship provides an opportunity to experience and learn about the growing discipline of university mental health while providing psychotherapy to students in a supportive training environment. The externship is exclusively focused on the outpatient assessment and treatment of college and graduate students. Other weekly activities will include: individual supervision with licensed psychologists, a case conference and didactic seminar, and mental health outreach and prevention workshops. CLINICAL RESPONSIBILITIES Through the externship, externs develop skills in diagnosing and treating the mental health issues of a diverse college-based population. The extern will spend most of their time engaged in direct clinical work. This will include conducting initial diagnostic evaluations and ongoing weekly psychotherapy sessions. Externs are responsible for a caseload of 6-8 students per week and will receive on-site supervision. Externs wishing to see more than 6-8 students are usually easily accommodated. Externs also participate in student walk-in hours where they are trained in conducting brief evaluations and crisis intervention. PSYCHODYNAMIC FOCUS The JTS Counseling Center Psychology Externship provides an opportunity to develop and hone skills in contemporary supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy in the college setting. Weekly psychodynamic supervision, case conference, and readings discussed in the didactic seminar will enhance this learning. OUR STUDENTS The opportunity to work with students engaged in a religious and spiritual journey provides unique learning possibilities to our externs. Many of our students are enrolled in joint programs with either Columbia University or Barnard College. Of equal importance, their learning takes place at the Jewish Theological Seminary where students are training for careers in Jewish education and/or religious leadership positions.
