Vogue; K- so I found ur thread. “Bais Yaakov high school, starts their school day at 8:30 and ends at 4:30. Girls are not allowed to have internet in their homes, I have heard from my friends there that the administration there is on the opposite extreme and doesn’t always notice, or attempt to deal with issues girls have. They have significantly fewer options for uniforms. On Rosh Chodesh, you are allowed to wear any white shirt you want, there are restrictions on colors you can wear outside of school, and some other rules.”

I cannot speak for what you said about Hannah Saacks as I don’t know too much about it or their rules. I certainly don’t know what happened with your friend there.

But I can tell you about Bais Yaakov. The girls are allowed to have internet – however it should be with parental approval with a note signed by them. Of course it’s even better if there are filters on the computer. They do not allow television in the home. Regarding the administration – they do attempt to deal with any issues the girls may be having. I have heard many stories regarding their involvement. The only requirement for Rosh Chodesh attire is TZNIUS. I don’t know what “other rules” you are referring to. All I can say is that my daughters loved the school and were very happy with the teachers, administration, and of course the friends. I don’t believe there was any brainwashing there.
