Yeshiva Bais Medrash and Mesivta in Baltimore is commonly known as Reb Slanger’s yeshiva. You do not choose between Ner Yisroel and Reb Slanger’s yeshiva. Reb Slanger chooses your son, or not. Going to this yeshiva is highly selective. The Rosh Yeshiva asks the eighth grade rebbeim of both boys schools, TA and TI, who are the “best” boys in the class, in both learning and in frumkeit and behavior. The best boys in the eighth grades are then invited to spend a shabbos at Reb Slanger’s yeshiva, where they are observed in learning, frumkeit, behavior (i.e., maturity). If they pass the shabbos test, they are then invited to join the yeshiva for ninth grade. Yes, this is the most frum yeshiva in Baltimore, the most prestigious, the most selective. Your son can choose to go to TA’s high school, which I’ve heard has excellent rebbeim and dorm facilities. TA (Chofetz Chaim) is trying to improve its high school and make it more like a yeshiva.
