Ok. I'm looking into sem for my sister this year. I'm pretty much looking at the michlalet esther-sharfmans-afikei torah range. I'm trying to understand the diff bet the 3 as I'm petrified of making a wrong decision. Yes, I will ask a shaila but want info from other woman who've gone and have friends that went. neither my friends nor I actually went to sem in israel so I don't know who to ask. I went on frumteens but didn't like the info there (seemed very imaturish and unhelpful). I'm very confused as to what to do. Any info at all will help. I've also heard of ateret but don't know anything about it. I need info on frumkeit of girls, academic levels, how involved in boys they are, what the school policy is on boys and freedom of time and general hashkafa.
TIA

I didn't go to any of those, though I have friends that either went or I have spoken to people there. From what I undersand the hanhala is pretty good in all 3. In afikei the girls are more frum to begin with. Michlelet esther has girls ranging from almost "off the derech" to girls who became frum through NCSY and are real "shtark.". Sharfmans from what I understand does not put a lot of stress on textual learning, but most peopel I know who went there very much enjoyed it. And michlelet esther definitely puts more emphasis on more textual learning, but many girls come with minimal (and I mean minimal!) abilities. Now, that I think about it I am not exactly sure how to answer it....can you describe your sister maybe a little bit? I don't really know the schools that well, but another thing you may want to think about is dorm life. For example, whereas ME and Afikei have dorms, sharfmans has apartmetments and gives no food. ME gives all 3 meals while Afikei gives one. One more thing , I don't know where you are located, but you may want to call the schools themselves and hear what they have to say about them and/or visit them, visit a few classes, teachers, etc.
