Where is Bnos Penina? How long has it been around? What's the oldest grade?
I don't have girls in school yet but trying to learn whatever I can before application time creeps up on me...

sky, I'm so curious about which school you send to. Sounds great!

Bnos Penina's this is the first year they have an 8th grade.
They have help for children who need it. I know that my DD was having difficulties in some areas and the principal notified me and put a plan in action. B"H we were successful.
They have extras for Rosh Chosesh. Every year they have a school fair, each year a different topic. Math, science, history, geography. The whole school gets involved in this. Also every year they have a topic that they focus on in Limudei Kodesh, these topics include middos, serving Hashem etc. They have art classes, music. They have very nice school library where the kids can go and borrow books.
It is a small school where every child is known by the principal. The principal hires staff to make sure the curriculum is sound.
Like all the schools in Lakewood, there is staffing and resources from the Board of Ed for children who qualify.

My girls' needs are addressed with caring, sensitivity, and optimism.
Need I say more?

Mrs. Paskesz was my teacher for many years.
If all teachers would be like her there would be LESS CHILDREN OFF THE DERECH.
The majority of teachers are academically and socially successful, and have the gift of the gab
and the right body language to be chosen by principal type of people ( to teach our precious neshomas). They have no clue how to appreciate a sensory child,
a high strung child, a hyperactive child, A child who doesnt hear the lesson material the first time. [b]If you would peruse the cameras in the classrooms you would see what I mean.[/b]
Mrs. Paskesz is a hero!! A true Ehrliche person, treating every human being as somebody special.

Any updated information on Bnos Penina?
How many girls in each class?
What type of families send there? And is it a very fancy school?

The newer families/ lower grades are trending in a more chassidish direction.
Not a very fancy crowd at all. Of course with some exceptions.

The principal is very chassidish and I've heard she is a wonderful person. The school is obviously not as chassidish as her.

Thats so interesting that you would say the principal is chassidish and the school is not.
At least 90% of the students are from Boro Park originally, which I think is great.
I can't wait to send my daughter there next year iyh.

I wrote that the school is not as Chassidish as her. Not that it is not chassidish, although I was surprised when I found out.

Proud Bnos Penina parent here. This is our seventh year with the school.
Mrs. Paskesz is not "very" chassidish, as you described. She's heimish with a bit of a chassidish lean.
Really it doesn't matter. The school has been wonderful. The first grade currently has two full classes.
Yes it is true that the school is becoming more chassidish, at least in the lower grades. Parents have been asking for more of a yiddish-speaking curriculum. If I had a baby girl now, I would be very conflicted whether or not to send her to Bnos Penina in five years. I have been so happy with the school and its chinuch, but we are as "kalteh litvak" as you can get. No chassidish blood in my family. ☺
