OP said strong chassidish values. 4 of the 13 girls there have siblings OTD and a couple of others pulled out because their daughters were hearing things they shouldn't know about just yet.

The hanhallah is really nice but I doubt it will be around next year.

As for the poster that suggested Bnos Bais Yaakov, totally off the mark. Assuming OP isn't a "tuna beigel" and she wants her daughter to hold onto those strong chassidish values then BBY and Chedvas are exactly the type of schools OP does not want.

It was actually Wine who said ‘strong chassidish values’.

We are open minded.

We did try BBY for my daughter.

Also tried Chedvas.

For the record, I’m really not qualified to homeschool. It was more like tongue in cheek. I really hope it won’t come to that.

Oros is easier to get into than Aderes these days. In Aderes (~350 girls) there are only 4 families whose fathers wear shtreimlach.

My dd is in aderes. In her class alone there are 4 shtraimels.

Yes I tried them. They said they don’t have the class my son is in (kitah hey).

I put my son up a class Bec they didn't have his age. The class is split between 10 and 11 yr olds.

They told me they are not taking new students for existing grades. I guess they want to keep classes small.

I did for my younger one. They said they are really not taking another girl into those 2 classes because there has already been a lot of movement.

We talked about bby which might be my only option. They also suggested Aderes.

So far none of my kids are in schools. My primary girl is on a waitlist at one of the chassidish schools and that’s as far as I’ve gotten 😩

Oh my,
But its only December, you still have time until next yr. (You dont live in Lakewood already, do you?)

For h.s. daughter def push for aderes. Better achool then b.b.y.
For your Primary daughter, call mrs paskesz, at least you will know you have a school for her.

I'm not from lakewood but I worry some of these posts might be loshon hara on a public forum. If it's litoeles perhaps it should be sent in a private message to the relevant person instead of posting online where many read it.

I’m not sure about Bnos penina. What is the current crowd? If you want to pm me you can but I don’t think you can stay anonymous… not sure. I have friends who send there but I definitely want more chassidish ideally.

Will definitely try for Tiferes yechiel for my boys. They are 4 and 7.
