Which school would you put your son in if he had no interest in yiddishkeit? 16 years old. Suggestions for all types of schools please.

Well I would start with what kind of school does he want?

What kind of school is he in?

What IS he interested in?

The more he is on board with the kind of school you are sending him to, the better chances are of success. In general I would veer away from the OTD crowd schools and prefer schools that might be much less religious then you want ( so a co -ed LWMO even if you are chassidish) because the OTD schools have so many problematic behaviors and not such a great success rate....

He doesn't want any school. He goes anyway because he knows he has to.

This from an article in the Jerusalem Post:
https://www.jpost.com/jerusale.....36835

“You don’t read too much about this, but there is a phenomenal percentage of drop-outs from the Haredi world ‒ perhaps as much as a third of all young people.
By the time boys are bar mitzva age, they have essentially stopped general studies. In yeshiva ketana [the Haredi phrase for high school], morning prayer services are held at 7:00 or 7:30, and much of the rest of the day is spent studying alone. It’s very, very intense, with a lot of alone time, and there is a huge wave of kids who drop out at this stage.
“Later, another large group of people drop out, when they move on to yeshiva gedola [post-high school yeshiva]. It’s too much for many people ‒ we are losing as many as one-third of our kids. We simply have to give them other options,” Cohen says.

What type of community are you in now? I think that matters a little bit.
