    My brother went to an out-of-town yeshiva last year (we live in Brooklyn) and it wasn’t for him. He’s now going into 10th grade and he doesn’t want to go back there. We know its late but he still needs a place that’s not yeshivish and not modern, middle of the road that cares for secular education as much as torah education. He’s a smart kid and he will definitely grow but were having a hard time finding him a place that’s a good fit for him.

    I know it will be very hard to suggest yeshivas since you don’t know him, but if you have any ideas that’s out of the metropolitan area, please list them and we will look into them. Thanks

    Thanks but that’s too far. If you know of anything in the tristate area (excluding the 5 boroughs), that would be great.

    This is also probably too far, but you just described South Bend Yeshiva. Good Luck

    yitayningwut: Ditto! I went to Ner for high school and had an amazing experience, although undoubtedly, it has definitely become a tad more “Yeshivish” since I graduated (as have most yeshivos). IMHO Ner [Y]Israel’s Mechina (Israel Henry Beren High School) is a top notch mesivta and prolly even the top in the United States (overall: learning; midot; academics).

    yitzman1: Read my above post.

    If Ner is too far and/or too Yeshivish for your bro, consider Yeshiva of New Haven (Connecticut). They have smaller class sizes, put a stronger emphasis on secular studies then many yeshivos and is closer to Flatbush than Ner is.

    If theses two don’t fit i don’t have too much more info to help you out with in regards to other yeshivos but perhaps Waterbury is the right place for him.

    Good Luck/Hatzlacha Rabba!

    Ner Isreal is a great place to consider. Also YU may be suitable, however it may be a shtikle too modern for your bro.. It all depands.

    Try Yesodei Yeshurun in Queens (I know you dont want 5 boros, but is worth a shot) or their sister Yeshiva in Monsey, Yesodei Yisroel.

    yeshivas ohr yisroel in atlanta fits the derech you are looking for – chilled out yeshivish but certainly not in tri-state area

    While I would definitely second the recommendation of Ohr Yisroel in Atlanta (definitely worth the trip in my opinion!) I would also recommend Yeshiva Sha’arei Torah in Monsey if you want to stay “local.” It’s exactly what you described- Yeshivish but not over the top, and with a very good english program. You can actually take a full year’s worth of college courses (directly from colleges, not AP’s) in 12th grade.
