Rabbi Witty- upstairs of Nachlei Torah on Swarthmore
Rabbi Stein-on Vine St between YTT and Rabbi Brus Yeshivas
Rabbi Sukenik-In Yeshiva Building on Henry Street of Rt 9
Rabbi Pepper- I'm not sure.
They all have great reputations. An 8th great rebbi or menahel would be best describe the nuances of each.

Do they all have some English? If important find out how much. ( Like I know Rabbi stein is optional and there is shiur if you don’t go. )
Do you get degree or GED. Is it jus through 10th or through 12th?

YOur best bet is to find parents who send them and ask questions?
English
Class schedule
Do they have early nights
Crowd that goes
What so boys do during break/lunch
Supervision
Atmosphere
Etc

(At the end sometimes the interview makes it. My son had his heart set on Rabbi stein - but a diff yeshiva really wanted him and he loved the interviews so in the end went with that one despite all our research and decisions)

I'm going to add more questions.
Discipline? Who handles it? How? How effectively?
How much downtime?
What do boys do in the downtime?
Do boys develop relationships with Rebbeim? Do the Rebbeim seek out the boys or is it the boys responsibility?
How is the food?

I think Sukenik is now located in tashbars building. Supposed to be very on top of the boys in their learning. Hard to get into. I think no english, but boys do the GED program.

Sukeniks ninth grade has 34 boys this year. No English. Amazing yeshiva but very hard to get into. It’s more yeshivish but has a nice mix.

Just something I heard from a staff member - last yr sukeniks had over 400 applicants! So I wonder how easy it will be to get into. It is considered the top tier yeshiva for "weaker" but very solid boys.

Sukenik and peppers are not on the same level as witty and stein.

Why is sukenik so hard to get into? What makes it better than others on that level?
