I'm looking to get more information on these two schools.
What is their audience crowd? Who do they "attract"?
How is their English department and what age do they start?
Are their rebbes good? Attentive? Encouraging? Enthusiastic?
How is their admin offices? Organized? Open to ideas and advice?

Please give everything you can or if you know someone who sends there ask them...

Thank in advance.

They are two very different crowds.

Mevadshai Hashem is a frum Emunas Yisroel type of crowd, although it does have a mix. Almost everyone in BP applies, but barely anyone gets in. They are very limited in space and did not send out applications this year because they were basically full with siblings and Rebbes kids etc. I don't know when English starts but they have a relatively good English department in conparison to Chassidisha chedarim. The office is very well run and staff is easily accessible. Menahel is very open to new ideas..... I know all of the above first hand, although I do not send there....

Mosholo used to be a top yeshiva with a very Chassidish crowd (right when they opened ). Over the years it became a mix of neutral / and Chassidish modern. I know that tried changing things and making strict rules about sneakers etc...but not sure if it worked. I worked in the neighborhood of the Cheder and I must say all the boys always look very happy and the Rebbes look attentive and good...there is a very positive atmosphere. However in the past couple of years, I hear that the yeshiva is sort of falling apart and people are pulling out..this is based on things that I've heard from a few people. I don't know anything first hand.
