to lay a couple of things straight regarding ateres;
1- ateres is not a modern bais yaakov, rather a out of town bais yaakov
2- ateres is not trying to produce cookie cutter girls they want what is best for every individual girl
3- ateres is a great school with a mix of girls from all over the place, this year there are about 20 from new york- less then 1/3 of the student body.
4- ateres does have some strick rules, but only for what is important and what you would want to be reinforced.
Hatlocha Raba on this hard decision, but don’t worry to much because everybody ends up where it is best for them!
