Looking into these schools and maybe also the new Bais Faiga.

If anyone can weigh in that would be appreciated.

My Values: derech Eretz, middos, being genuine, Ahavas Eretz Yisroel, simplicity- living within one’s means and being modest and not showy, careful with lashon hora, value of secular studies such as math science reading etc

Which of these schools best fit my values?

From those 4 nachlas
Nachlas more simple
Bnos Bracha not focused on secular studies
Don’t know much about shiras ruchama it’s still new
Meoros is more fancy

Bnos bracha is simple and wholesome. I know so many amazing families with excellent middos there.
Bais faiga is a mix.
Meoros is the fanciest from all these
Shiras ruchama seems like solid good families
Neemas is also solid families nice mix
Nachlas is simple solid families but hard to get into

I don’t think English subjects are stressed as a big priority in any schools. It’s just part of the curriculum and they mostly learn it well. It’s not a focus like a prep for college if that’s what you mean.

We have pull for Nachlas but I only want to push for a school that I really want. Is the parent body of the younger grades and new families simple or is it changing to be fancier?

Bnos bracha sounds great. Do they learn math science etc that my dd can keep up in high school and maybe a place like touro college?

Which school most fits the description of out of town, non show off/ostentatious, honest, kind parent body?
No TV or secular music

Should be enough for touro. Bnos bracha feeds into chedvas I think? Which is a phenomenal high school, major stress on middos. So she should be good if she continues on. Not sure if the parent body is changing in nachlas. The older grades are definitely way simpler. But I don’t know if it’s becoming fancier.

I’d think bnos bracha is the best fit for what you describe.

I send to Bnos bracha and I’m super thrilled. It’s literally what’s keeping us from moving OOT.

I don't think pull is going to help you there.

I know someone who had very good pull and offered a lot of money and still didn't get in.
