The school is affiliated with SAR Academy, which is also in Riverdale, Bronx, New York City and a little over fifty percent of the over 400 students attending SAR High School come from the Academy. The school's current Principal is Rabbi Tully Harcsztark, who has guided the creation of the school, both in terms of philosophy and structure, since the planning stages. Other administrators include Rabbi Jonathan Kroll (Judaic Studies), Dr. Mark Shinar (General Studies) and Nancy Lerea (Admissions).
