You may want to look into Mesivta of West Bloomfield. Near Detroit. They have a dorm. Small warm friendly place.

Peekskill is not what you're looking for. Scranton is another good option to look into - solid learning, wholesome, and very warm.

I'm the one whose DS found Roosevelt too much. He was advised by R' Binyamin Strauss to look into Scranton, Ohr Naftoli, and Bayonne. He ended up going elsewhere, which in the end worked out for him, but it was a pleasant surprise that he ended up there and was happy. Not what I'd recommend for someone who fits your son's description. Rubanowitz is another option to look into.

Scranton last year was getting hard to get to. Really wanted very smart and motivated boys.

I called ohr naftali and they basically said it is very hard to get into as they are full.

What is the name of the yeshiva in PA? I assume Rubinowitz is the Rosh yeshivas name?

I think it may be a lower level of learning than Scranton and Denver, but I may be wrong. Very nice rebbeim.

The Dorm mother at kesser yonah in Chicago is outstanding. I think it could tick your boxes.

I didn’t know that Rubanowitz had a high school. I thought it was just Beis Medrash.

What about Cincinnati?

FYI- Elkins park is a Bais medrash, not mesivta
