Title says it all.
Wondering which all boys school has a fantastic English Dept for a boy entering High School, coming from a "regular" modern orthodox Yeshiva for Elementary School?

Does it exist locally?

Any Advice please!

Thanks

I don't know about "fantastic" but DRS and MTA (the HS for YU) both have good secular departments.

Of course, DRS is in long Island and MTA in Manhatten, I don't know of any in Brooklyn unfortunately.

Those are both more "modern" high schools.

I know Torah VoDaas is supposed to have one of the best in Brooklyn, but the boys aren't considered quite as yeshivish, some go to YU afterwards.

Torah Temimah gives a Regents diploma and has pretty good teachers. Although it's very yeshivishish, many families who want their boys to get a college education send there, and the boys do go on to Brooklyn college and the like. It's not a majority, but if it's important to you as a parent it will happen. I can find out more about it as I have family who went there.

I've heard Chaim Berlin is also good but don't know enough about it.

Among the Chassidish schools, Munkacz is the best for boys. Their English principal is a professor in Yeshiva University.

Oh, I just reread your OP.

Torah V'Daas might be good for you.

On the other end is Yeshiva of Flatbush. Just throwing that out there.
