Pninim sounds like it might be a good fit for you. I went there a buncha years ago but it definitely was not academic and was very hashkafic. As per the girls, my year we were known as being the most ruachdik but I heard that after that Rabbi Meisels started accepting some “iffy” girls BUT have now heard that he has stopped that and is changing the seminary to be for a good girl, not neccasarily a girl who is “troubled” and that the seminary will try ‘fixing’.
I think it is a great seminary though! I still keep up with Rabbi Meisels even though it has been a few years since I’ve been there.
