I am looking for info on both schools the reason, they are both new so maybe there is a prayer of acceptance.

What grades do they go up to?

What crowd?If you would apply to Bnos Chayla\Shiras Ruchuma what other school would you apply to?(assuming you are not applying because they are new schools)

Anything you think is relevant please say.

Do you mean bnos chayil?

From what I understand they are different crowds. Shiras ruchama is middle of the road and bnos chayil is yeshivish. I’ve heard great things about both.

Shiras ruchama would go hand in hand with bnos bracha, meoros, bnos Esther Malka I’d think. The last two being more with it.

I don't know the crowd at Shiras Ruchoma at all.
I know 1 or 2 in Bnos Chayil.
The general parent body is similar to Bnos Melech, Bnos Tzippa, maybe Bais Rivka Rochel
The owners/administrators are more extremist than those three schools. In fact the opened this school because they felt that those schools were too "maikil".
I don't know how that will eventually play out.

Agree with this post. Bnos Chayil is not a mainstream school. It is run by people who are more extreme than the yeshivish Lakewood Rabbanim.

Bumping this thread because I'm looking for information on this school.
Do they have a kindergarten?

My daughter just turned 3 and wondering if I need to apply now already.

No they start from primary. Bnos bracha has kindergarten as well as the heimish/chassidish schools. Most of the other schools start from primary some have a small kindergarten for siblings only like nachlas

Thanks!
I only know 1 person that sends there and she's very happy.
A different friend told me she tried applying there because her daughter's current school isn't a good fit for her hashkafically.
She said the couple that interviewed them made them feel horrible (they weren't accepted).
This family is so quiet, normal and kind. I can't understand it.
It worries me if someone at the head of a school can be so unkind what does it say about the school?
