Hello! Looking for any information this yeshiva. Please share your personal experience!
What type of families usually send there? How many kids are in a class? What can you say about Hebrew/English education there?
Thank you.

Really really yeshivish litvish families. No idea about class size. There is much more of a focus on Hebrew than English.

My boys are there. It's a yeshivishe school, but I'm not SUUUUUUUPPPPPPEEEEER yeshivish (just normal yeshivishe Wink

) so I'm always surprised when people make a big deal about how yeshivish it's supposed to be.

The rebbeim are excellent - they really care, and they really want to be mechanchim. The morah's are nice as well, and they are concerned about the boys learning English skills and general knowledge, within the framework of the yeshiva. There's no English until first grade, and then it's 2 till 4 (really 3:50). But the teachers take it seriously as does the hahaha (there is a school wide incentive system in place for English behavior) and the curriculum is ok.

Class size varies...one son has 13 boys, the other has 22.
