I'm considering Elyon for my daughter and would love to hear some first hand experienced reviews...
Or, anywhere else that has a similar program of half day sem and half day working toward a degree. Doesn't have to be in Bklyn...
TIA for any info!

My sister is in Elyon now and she likes it. The degree part is pretty intense, there’s a lot of work. But that makes sense being that they are walking out with a BA.
It’s mostly Chassidish girls.

If you're still on here.
What subjects are intense? Is it mostly Jewish studies? Can you ask your sister?
Thanks so much.

Honestly it's pretty chassidish and a lot of the lessons reflect that. 3 of my friends from Bais Yakov High School in Boro Park went there, one heimish, one chassidish (belonging to lubavitch) and one litvish. The heimish one didn't mind it, the litvish one said she ended up having to disregard a lot of the sem lessons and just focused on her BA, while the lubavitch girl had a really hard time trying to make the most of Hebrew lessons while reconciling them with what we had learned in BY, and what she learned at home. I think it's a fantastic option for someone coming from a typical chassidish school, otherwise maybe not. I don't remember specifics, this was 4 or 5 years ago.
