You have elementary and high schools on that list. What kind of info are you looking for?

That seems to be quite a long (and diverse) list. What are you looking for in a school, and what age child are you talking about?

I'm looking for an elementary school for my son. I'm looking for a school that can cater to special situations. My son is difficult...probably adhd and not a yeshivsh school with many rules for children and parents.

I am not trying to be rude, only helpful by being honest

You might want to move. I can't think of a single school that will fit that bill.

If you are willing to put up with some rules for parents, you will have more options.

Also please keep in mind, while you are researching, that smaller schools sound nice in such a scenario, but are not equipt to deal with issues for real. This is a serious problem. It may be worth it to look at the bigger schools, who all have long lists of rules.

Sounds like Orchos Chaim might be a good fit. They are equipped to deal with "special" situations and they don't have a "long" list of rules like some of the other schools. That being said it is hard to get in.

Best of luck!

My nephew has learning and behavioral issues. He started off in Yeshiva Bais HaTorah. He was then put into Mekor Hachinuch, which has self-contained classes and is located at Yeshiva Bais Aharon. My sister was very unhappy with Mekor Hachinuch, so this year he has switched to Yeshiva Derech HaTorah.

As a parent in orchos chaim they do have rules (probably similar to some other schools in Lakewood, but are more lenient in some areas such as sports):
- no visits to library without parents supervision
- no secular movies at all
- Children may not use a computer that has any internet access
- Must have an ishur signed by rav regarding internet, smart phone, etc. That have filters.
- prefer fathers wear white shirts (although they are flexible) and black hats around Lakewood (my husband does wear colored shirts)
- Very strict rules regarding boys clothing that is enforced in school (no words or pictures, no tight pants, collars only starting in 2nd grade, etc)

Orchos Chaim probably does have a more diverse student body then a lot of other schools. YTT may be more flexible in a lot of these rules. But I don't think they are as equipt to deal with special needs. (Tashbar is also an English Cheder in Lakewood. There are only 4 I think if that is one of your prefrences).

Oros Yisroel which just closed down was very equipped to deal with ADHD and behavioral issues but I'm not sure if it is still re-opening.

Some of the schools in your list are very yeshivish, even by Lakewood standards.

Torah Academy of Monmouth County is outside of Lakewood so probably has less rules. I know nothing about them, you can contact them and ask them about their school.

You are describing my son to a tee
He was in Bais HaTorah 10 years ago and was miserable
Constantly being wild and hitting other kids and getting violent
Then he went to YNJ . They calmed him down in 3 months
He absolutely loved the place
Now he is in a Ivy League school and doing very well

I send mine to Kol Torah R' Schwartz

Love it, but its a small school without a lot of manpower/services. The children who need more are inevitably forced to switch schools and end up in self contained classes.

I would suggest finding out about mekor hachinuch classes from the start.
Or see what's happening with Oros Yisroel.
Kol Torah, YTT, Orchos Chaim etc are not looking specifically for kids with issues & parents who don't want rules. I can't imagine any of those school's accepting such a statement.
