Eeeeee! We need to apply after succos and I dont even know where to start!
We are yeshivish, husband in BMG... I would love a loving/warm school.
The only school I know of is bais fayga and I probably wont get in there right? Help!

Right (unless you have mega pull there) but I also would say if you are looking for warm/loving, you might be looking for a smaller school.

Shiras Chaim (small, warm, yeshivish)
Bnos Orchos Chaim
Tiferes Bais Yaakov
Bnos Melech if you want super-yeshivish
Bnos Yaakov - more academic
Nachalas - more OOT yeshivish

Is Chein Bais Yaakov specifically yeshivish? I know people who send there - very frum solid but not necessarily yeshivish.

Lol! that's why I hate the term yeshivish. I consider myself "regular" I have a smartphone but my husband doesnt, dress pretty stylish...
Thanks for all the responses some sound good!!

When you say yeshivish, how do you describe it?
Internet at him- filtered? None?
Do you let your kids watch videos? Jewish only or non Jewish also?

I've heard nice things about Bnos Tzippa (small, young school). Mrs Treff
Also Shiras Chaim. Perlstein. Just graduated it's first 8th grade.
But those schools are more yeshivish, closer to Bnos Melech. Large percentage of father's learning or Rebbi.

There's also Bnos Devorah, Tiferes both similar to Bais Faiga in it's yeshivish, yet not a perfect box, but both are large.

There's Nachalas and Moreshes. Both yeshivish, or at least a strong yeshivish tilt.

Of course if you're real yeshivish (no technology access, kids in long sleeves and long socks by 3) there's Bnos Melech, Bais Rivka Rochel, and Masoras Bnos Yisroel.

Okay I'll try to nuance myself. I have a smartphone with internet. I dont watch movies. My husband has a flip phone. When I'm desperate I'll let my kids watch videos on YouTube but not only jewish can be curious George etc.. me and my husband both used to watch movies so we know all the stuff. I listen to news podcasts. My husband in BMG with no plans of leaving anytime soon.

Sometines I wish I lived OOT LOL

Then I'd say

Shiras Chaim
Bnos Tzippa
Bnos Devorah
Chein
Bnos Orchos Chaim
Tiferes
Maybe Moreshes or Nachalas

A few years ago, someone gave me great advice.
Go to the various schools during drop-off (9-9:30 am) and pick-up (3:15-4pm).
You'll see plenty of mothers there. You might get a feel for where you WON'T fit in.

Tiferes BY has the advantage of being very established older school with only 4 parallel classes.
Parents down to earth. Dress is not so trendy. Less rules bec parent body is more old school.
Wonderful school. But so difficult to get into. Barely room for alumni kids do added second 4th primary. But worth trying.

I used to say every school in lkwd is wonderful and we’re ever you get in it will work. But recently spoke yo some parents trying to switch Their kids out of schools they got into when moved to town. Kids not learning. Not run well. Kids have lousy middos. Schools struggling to control and teach. Please do research and speak to parents.
