Can someone please tell me about how the Clifton Cheder is doing currently? What is the parent body like in terms of frumkeit and hashkafos? What is the level of learning like and how does it compare to YKP? What about the secular education? Are the boys accepted into mainstream mesivtas afterwards?
Also, I have a daughter after my son. If my son goes to the cheder, will she have to go to their school as well or is there any hope of getting into YKP? What is the girls school like?
Any information is appreciated!

I live in passaic and don’t know the details (I send to ybh) but I know a few families that have boys in the cheder and girls in ykp. That shouldn’t be a problem.

The parent body is moving to the right as the years pass. Lots of parents who don't want screens at home (for kids). There's an emphasis on shmiras halashon and bein adam lchavayro (not to the exclusion of anything else). Secular learning - depends on the teacher but the school, as a whole, doesn't emphasize it. Boys are accepted to mainstream mesivtas. The rebayim are warm, loving, devoted and go way beyond their classroom responsibilities.

I’m not sure if that’s true anymore. You might have to send all your kids to one school. Definitely do more research on this.
