Michlalah sounds like a very solid school for good girls- who come from a Modern Orthodox background. My sister is a Bais Yaakov girl, if not a very conventional one. My cousins go to Michlalah, and they are VERY good girls, but they’re coming from a whole different world.

Binas, Nachlas, and Tehilas are too much in the “typical BY mold” for my sister.

Don’t get me wrong- I went to a very in-the-box seminary and I’m what you would call a more “typical” BY girl. I have nothing against being a regular BY girl! The thing is, I want my sister to find a place where she can grow hashkafically and personally while still feeling comfortable to express her own personality and preferences. Most of those places will stifle her individuality with disapproval.
