Yeshivas Ohavei Torah

I don’t know anything about the bochurim but I get the impression that the secular studies department is one of the better ones available in yeshivish boys high schools. (I’m not going to swear as to what the level is objectively, but…)

They talk a lot about high SAT scores, but that doesn’t say very much when that’s really a lot more reliant on the individual student than on the school- maybe smarter kids tend to go there, I don’t know. They didn’t have any NMSFs, though, for what it’s worth. I think the only frum boys’ schools (in New York) that had any this year were Yesodei Yeshurun, HALB, and MTA.

I generally tend to get the conclusion that the secular studies education of yeshiva high schools can only truly be considered good in comparison to that of other yeshiva high schools.

Acronyms?

SAT- Scholastic Assessment Test

NMSF- National Merit Semifinalist

HALB- Hebrew Academy of Long Beach

MTA- Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy.

Actually, if you didn’t get what I said, then it’s obviously not things you’re particularly anxious about (which makes sense- they’re not THAT major of a deal usually in frum schools) so just disregard my post except with regard to the secular studies in YOT being quite good.

Send your kid to yeshivas chovevei torah instead?
