He needs help with his academics. He is not a strong learner, specifically secular studies. I don't know if he has a diagnosis, but we are having it checked out now.

what do u consider "not yeshivish"? If he needs to wear white shirts, would that be too yeshivish? Theres a yeshiva in lkwd for low academic boys that excellent, not sure if too yeshivish. Its definitely not very yeshivish.

I don't know why your son needing help with academics requires a not yeshivish school, to what degree he needs help, or what you consider not Yeshivish.

Therefore I might be ridiculously off with this suggestion but maybe look into Belle Harbor.

The academics have nothing do to with yeshivish, it has to do with hashkafa, but they're both needed. Does Belle Harbor have a dorm?

I believe MTA has a dorm. It's Yeshiva University's high school. In manhattan, definitely not yesheivish. When my brothers went there many years ago it was big mix in terms of the boys.
