Any non chassidish school is English speaking.

Bais Brocha is a yiddish speaking school, meaning that the limudei kodesh teachers, teach in yiddish.

The most typical for english in BP is Bais Yaakov of BP

Litvish, heimish, chassidish all backgrounds there.

But taught in english (Limudei kodesh has a lot of hebrew language).

Davening is in Nusach Sefard which is chassidish (of course the girls switch to whatever the home does once they daven on their own), but the tone, parent body and was of teaching is typical Bais Yaakov.

I'm confused about what type of school you're looking for and why you'd need to send to a school outside of BP for this. Is your only criteria English speaking?

omg! we are bt, doven in a chassidish shul, and also in bp! we should connect, don't think there are too many of us like this here Wink

anyways we are very happy with the girls gan yisroel BH. I will warn you though that for us as BT's, any jewish school is a major adjustment when it gets to elementary. preschool is fun and games, holidays, and aleph beis and we could follow along with our kid.

in elementary as a BT parent it feels like a whole new world with more yiddish in the curriculum, chumash, and in general above our educational level as parents Sad

I mean so far we are managing just letting you know that it's a bit of a learning gap that I think would be in any frum school, BY or Gan Yisroel, vien, etc.

also it's important that you feel comfortable with the parent body. I feel comfortable with the gan yisroel mothers, it's a nice mix and nice eirliche families BH. just important because some other chassidish schools are wonderful in BP, but I may not fit in with their mothers who all cover their sheteils with a hat and speak primarily yiddish themselves, etc.
Hatzlacha raba!
