We are most probably moving to the area for next school year. Dh is in klai kodesh aways wears a white and we are a simple family. I would call us out of town yeshivish. My kids only watch and listen to Jewish media.

My husband is a real litvak and siach is not for us, darchei is very big but our crowd is definitely there. I met some people at ykli
And was extremely impressed with the school
And I like the size. I’m concerned about the crowd there. Will my kids be the odd ones out if we don’t go to Florida for vacation or have a wii in the house and will they be demanding high end clothing?
My oldest is 6 if that matters. I did hear that the younger grades are a little more simpler/right wing then the older ones.

Also is there a specific area that is has a lot of ykli or areas with very little ykli families, I am looking at houses in inwood, woodmere and n woodmere, but would really prefer inwood or woodmere.

I live in the neighborhood but don't send there so this is just my overall impression. Yes a few years ago they started shifting the yeshiva more to the right however it is still a more upper class clientele. You need to be ready for that.

Definitely more upper class and materialistic. Lots of Lawrence and north woodmere families. Many are nice and wholesome - but their kids are raised going to Florida. Darchei sounds more up your alkey

While it is to the right,
it is very materialistic.

Yes Darchei is huge but they break it down very well. There is a menahel for every 1-3 grades. Everyone is super approachable.

I send there and my son is in a younger grade, there are some "fancier" boys in his class but plenty of regular simpler people too.

Don't be scared off by darchei, it's a fabulous school.

Send to Darchei. Your oldest is 6- he’ll adjust quickly to the size. They give more personal attention than you can possibly imagine and they generally make the classes by neighborhood/shul so you will be with the right crowd.
