I think shulamit is a drop left in that they are into Zionism bit otherwise I would say jpf

I guess it depends where you are on the spectrum. To me, BBY is very right.

We're looking at girls' high schools this year and Shulamith is the one most to the right we are considering. Certainly their dress code is far more stringent than SKA which is our other major option. Not sure how it compares to the BY schools which are not even on our radar.

I think this depends on exactly how you define JPF. Shualmith is a little hard to place. First because the original Shulamith predates a lot of our modern definitions, but because it is quite strict on some things (tzniut, extracurriculars) but also Zionist and with a somewhat more modern approach to education. Meanwhile traditionally TAG, though it calls itself BY, has had a very mixed crowd, though I hear it is less so than it used to be.

If that is the case in your opinion, then shulamit should not be too left on the spectrum for you.

Michelle Hirtz, formerly of Shevach for many years. She is planning to start a new high school next school year It's going to be a Bais Yaakov school with all those ideals, and taking into consideration that it's the 21st century.

I think this may be it. It was on a chat I’m on


Oh wow! I know Reb. (Rochelle) Hirtz well and saw Shevach advertising that they’re looking for a new menaheles. She’s a wonderful person! OOC, what crowd is this school catering to?

There is an application on the site and asks for what grade your child will be entering in September and if over first grade please xyz. I am wonder how many grades they plan on opening up their first year.....

Are you able to post the ad? I didn’t see anything this week, only last week.

Found the ad. It’s an elementary school, and there is a link on the ad for their website

www.BY5T.org

The website gives no more info than the ad, but there is a link for an application.

(Last edit) Based on the application, it looks like it’s preschool and elementary? The application says “for children entering grade 1 and higher” which implies that there may be children entering a lower grade. But the ad clearly says elementary school….

I did not go to the open house but I heard that people from the KAY shul are opening it and its under the umbrella of Bais Yaakov but the crowd will be a Cedarhurst/Woodmere crowd and to the left of TAG.

It is going to a Bais Yaakov school with similar hashkafos to tag. It will not though be unrealistic about the use of technology . It is hoping to attract regular main stream Lawrence cedarhurst Woodmere and north woodmere and Hewlett parents who want a bais Yaakov mentality without being obsessed with what girls should not have on their phones.
