The seminary attracts many different types of girls including a very large proportion that have psychiatric problems. In a regular seminary if one or two girls have problems it is not so bad, but here the girls I spoke to who went found it to be harmful since they are living in very close quarters and there aren’t very many girls at all. On the other hand, the classes are supposed to be great, especially Mrs Cooper. It is very much a family run seminary which is risky, since you become very close to the whole family, but if something goes wrong it is much harder to get through to them since you are telling one a problem you have with her family member. Finally, they don’t really foster independence, but rather make the girls feel a need for them.
Hatzlocho, and I hope that you help your daughter make the right choice!
