Things change over time. I am a baby boomer. When I was in high school, I went o Yeshiva from 7:30 to 12:30 and then the afternoon shift at public high school from 1-5. Then to an Ivy league college and law school.
My daughters and granddaughters went to a Chabad girls high school that has been around 60 years. It prides itself on top notch secular studies half a day and their students being admitted to top colleges and universities. Outside of members of the Principal’s extended family, virtually no girl goes on to only seminary after high school. This school had a boys high school as well in my sons day, it closed before my grandsons time, so they went to high school in Brooklyn, but were listed as being homeschooled in CT, got CT diplomas and admitted to top colleges and law schools. Mrs. CTL and I taught them most of their important secular subjects or engaged specialist tutors.
