    Ateres- i more to the left

    YSV- is a great skl and is basicly a mixing pot the have all types and the classes divieded by types ex a more yeshivish class, a more modorn class. But the princpal are amazing and even though its so big it dosent feel like it.

    Bas Mikroh- its like YSV yet about 20% ofBas Mikroh would fit into Bais Rochel so its a mix yet they wont have some modorn kids that YSV will have

    YSV is large school with 4 classes per grade, with a nice mix of all types from very frum to very modern. In the younger grades they separate the classes by type, but the older grades are mixed by academic level.There are separate principals for the different divisions. For some children a large school is important so they can learn to fend for themselves.

    If you are very liberal then Ateres BY is for you.

    BY Chofetz Chaim is a great school with a frum balanced crowd of Bnei Torah. it is not the place for a parent that believes school is just to teach baking & sewing, they are a very education & Hashkafa oriented school, where there is emphasis on dikduk hamitzvos & Yiras Shomayim. At the same time there is a campy fun & happy ruach. The principal has a kesher with every child & parent, & will do whatever it takes to make each child succeed.

    Bas Mikroh is a small & warm school, A big percent are girls from sephardi families, they have just gotten a new menahel and has begun trying to revamp their school and attract the young yeshivish crowd. It has a very relaxed & laid back atmosphere.

    Bais Rochel you didn’t mention, probably because it is mostly chasidish.

    Hatzlocha!

    Bas Mikrah does not have a lot of Sephardic girls! They’ve been primarily yeshivish for as long as I can remember.

    They have a few girls from each “type” in every class.

    I met a few girls who went to ateres a few years ago. They were in seminary at the time. They were at Machon Raaya and some seminaries farther to the left than that.

    What exactly does “more liberal” mean when describing a school? I confess to being really confused, especially as we’re discussing Ateres.

    I’ve already stated my views on Ateres in another thread (http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/monsey-girls-high-schools#post-548616), and while there I was talking about the high school, I’d say kal vechomer about the elementary school. I just really want to know what a “liberal” school is. (If it helps, I happen to know that Ateres’s mock presidential elections heavily skew Republican… 🙂 )

    It’s a girls’ school! They won’t accept a father no matter what kind of shirt he’s wearing!

    The schools have no clue who has a TV. That said, YDV and Ateres probably are better choices for people with TVs. Even so, I’m sure that you can get away with it in BYCC.

    Colored shirts- you’re fine in any of those schools.

    Colored shirts are definitely not a problem in BYCC (or anywhere else for that matter). You have to sign that you do not have a TV to send your child there.

    My Yeshivish granddaughters go to Bas Mikroh. I think they’re happy there. YSV may have Yeshivish crowd too, but, I only know more modern kids who go there.
