COLLEGE COUNSELING ARTS ATHLETICS SRDS NEWS AND EVENTS Beyond Boundaries: New Saddle River Day Center for Technology & Computer Science (CTCS) Explores Global Virtual Reality Learning Environments Typically, when someone references a classroom, we imagine, at the very least, a physical space with walls, windows, a ceiling, desks, and an instructor. But the newest SRDS classroom can be found in a virtual reality headset through the inaugural Virtual Reality Classroom, the first initiative of our new Center for Technology & Computer Science (CTCS), headed by Dr. Kevin Merges, SRDS’s Chief Global Impact Officer. Saddle River Day School is in the Business of Teaching Business Students in SRDS’s Business and Entrepreneurship classes know what to do when they arrive in the classroom each day.

The HELP Foundation – Giving From a Place of Abundance As parents, we want our children to be upstanders , not bystanders , meaning that if they see a problem or an injustice, they should step in, get involved, and ask how they can help. In the case of Sahil Polepalle and Devraj Dhupar, both members of the Saddle River Day School class of 2025, they have learned that lesson well. Laying a Strong Foundation in Early Childhood Education at Saddle River Day Engineers, architects and every parent who has ever built Legos, a block tower or a marble run with their kids knows that a strong foundation is required in order to build a stable structure. The educators at Saddle River Day School know this too, which is why such care has been put into building a high quality PreK program for our littlest learners.
