    skiaddict, that’s what I’m afraid of… But as Leah222 said, I do believe in that Upper Hand!

    My older sister went, but that was many years ago, so I’m not sure how much it will help with me getting in.. Leah, you are so helpful, I really do hope that all your time and effort spent helping me, pays off!

    “that bearing unforseen circumstances, you do intend to stay 3 years”

    Thanks for that line, I really do intend to stay the entire 3 year course!

    I’m not in a BY, can you please elaborate on what the standards there, are? Thanks again

    Again, thanks for the quick reply!

    Talking about textual skills, what do you mean by better than the average British girl? What is the general standard there?

    Do you know what they look for in a girl when considering accepting her? I really want to go!

    Do you start the teacher training in the first year? What are you expected to do? Give over lessons?

    Thanks for such a quick response! It sounds incredible! Alright, I’ve got some more questions to ask:

    Its really strange because I’ve always thought it was very textual based, and I heard that rabbonim randomly call on students to read out from the sforim, which could be rather intimidating- is that not true at all? Really, what I’m asking is whether I will be disadvantaged if I’m not particularly strong in that area…

    Oh no! What do you mean with the visas? I, myself, don’t know anything about that, but I think that my parents are looking into it.

    What is the age range that girls come for their first year? Does anyone (even just a few girls) that are significantly younger or older than the other girls come?

    Are there only Rabbonim, or also Rabbetzins that teach?

    What would you say is the main focus of the sem? I could be wrong, but it seems like you went there, and loved it. Is the focus on teaching life lessons and hashkofos or what?

    And finally, why is it a 3 year program? Personally, I think that its a wonderful opportunity to grow over 3 years as a 1 year program would have less of a lasting impact in my opinion, but is there a true reason? What is different with this sem that it runs through 3 years?

    Thanks for all your help, and I will keep the questions coming, please keep an eye on this thread. Thanks Leah222!

    In the learning aspect, is it very textual based?

    Do students need to be able to understand mefarshim alone?

    What type of classes are there?

    How do classes run? (as a lecture, as a question answer session, etc?)

    TIA

    Curious as to whether anyone has more information on the old Gateshead seminary… I’m really interested in it. Anyone? Thanks

    i’m also looking into both those seminaries. i find the best way is to hear straight from girls who went there. from what i have heard, a main difference is from the learning point of view. and also that old focuses on growing in limudei kodesh while the new provides secular courses as well…
