It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s going on between your high school and the Sem.s they *suggest*

In any case, until within the last 10 years, Gerrer chasidim generally sent their “post high school” (yes, chasidim whose children receive a VALID HS education) to E”Y for what’s known elsewhere as “Yeshiva Gedolah.” Then they built “Yeshiva Gevoha” in Boro Park(not to be confused with Bais Medrash Govoha — Lakewood). One of the major reasons was so that parents don’t need to send their bochurim to E”Y (at a huge expense) and they can be close to family.
