shmuelgr — If you are in a CC high school as you say, then your current Rabbeim definitely know the nuances between each branch and can help guide you to a good match. A general question of “what is the difference?” will not get you too far.

In a nutshell, all the branches are following the same basic derech halimud and learning the same mesechtos each year. They also have the same style of Mussar. The difference lies primarily in the fact that each branch gets slightly different types of boys, and each branch has different Roshei Yeshiva and magidei shuir. You need to figure out which type of boy is most likely to be a good fit for you (and by some of the smaller branches this may vary year to year as well), as well as where there are rabbeim who you will likely connect with. Only someone who knows you can help you figure that out.

Good luck!
