    Hey ramapo is great. It’s small, usually 1 class per grade. They do not have a remedial but if a test is too hard for you, there is english or modified versions and the teachers work with you. Concert is also great, you make a lot of friends during practise.

    Bais Yaakov of Monsey is so great! One of my closest friends is camp is in that school, and she loves it. The staff is vey warm and caring, and the mechanecheses are always available for anything, 24/7. The principal (Rebbetzin Paretzky, I believe) is a legend- no other way to describe her.

    There is every type in BYM… I would recommend it to anyone!

    Btw STYLE, the OP created this thread 2 years ago, dunno if you realized.

    Bais Rochel is very frum- more chassidish than yeshivish these days.

    I believe they teach in Yiddish, in fact.

    Oh…

    Well for future reference, schools of a specific chassidus are generally known by the name of the chassidus. So Bais Ruchel is known as the girls’ Satmar school.

    Ok i assumed everyone knew the name of satmar girls school is bais ruchel

    #1058308

    FYI Bais Rochel in Monsey is not affiliated to Satmar or any other chassidus. In fact, there is no Bais Ruchel D’Satmar in Monsey. It used to be a real mix, now it’s leaning toward more haimish.

    “are you a male?”

    Probably

    “if so why are u going to girls graduations for fun”

    That is not a logical continuation of the first point.

    I know this because two of my friends are in that school…

    What makes them modern? The things they wear, talk about, and do.

    Why are you so into this?

    I made this thread almost three years ago on behalf of one of my sisters who was looking into high schools. By now, my next sister after that is already attending one of the three schools mentioned… just funny how things come around :).

    Letakein Girl: I’d disagree that the students and the hanhalah of the school are modern (or, really, to be more accurate and use your phrase, MO). The principal started it as a Bais Yaakov, and with the exception of not espousing things like kollel, I believe that’s the way it’s basically stayed as far as the teaching and educational hashkafa. Regardless of its name, I would still not call it a Bais Yaakov in any way- but the school itself doesn’t have a specifically modern hashkafa (Zionism, etc). It’s just not really one thing or another and the way the school is in general (very chilled, etc) just attracts girls who are less Bais Yaakov in hashkafa. It is easily the most modern (on the very limited scale of Monsey girls high schools…) of the girls high schools in the area, as the only school with no uniform but rather a dress code, but it is not hashkafically modern in the way an actual MO school would be. Yes, there will be more of what you say, but that’s not davka the school. It’s the girls (of whom some are my friends, incidentally).

    To be fair, though, sometimes schools do follow in the path of the girls, and perhaps Ateres does that sometimes. But it’s still not accurate to say that the school is hashkafically MO.

    Okay then, I stand corrected.

    By the way, writersoul, when I saw that you had written a long paragraph in response to little me, I felt so awesome. 🙂

    Lovely, who are you trying to fool?

    How is it that you know all about Mosney’s high schools, and yet nothing about the elementary schools?
