I am planning to visit for Sukkot, I am very excited as I haven't been to Israel in a little over 8 years. As of now she is planning to do the 1 year program. She will get 36 credits towards university here as well which helps too. |

I just sent my 14 year-old daughter to a dorm 14 hours drive from home. Don't ask me how I did it. The upside is she is happy and really likes it. |

chavamom - keep us posted. My dd is considering going to high-school away from home, but it seems awfully young to me. |

Where is she thinking of going? Honestly, my daughter has the best of situations for a girl in a dorm. The school is a very good fit for her, the dorm has a great group of girls and good reputation and while she only knew one person going into the school, there was a whole constellation of people that had connections with her or our family that were at the school. We found out during the admission process they are extremely careful about who they take into the dorm (at one point I said it was amazing they take anyone) but you can really tell that that effort pays off. |

Chava, I wish your daughter a fabulous HS experience. I know that sending her is for the best but it is still so hard to let go. That's the way it is when you raise children. BH they grow up. But it is hard on the mothers (and the little sisters, my other DD is having a harder time than me) |

my 14 yr old would love to go to school in EY, right now. i can't even imagine sending her... we do send our children to a school in another city, but no dorms, doesn't exist here. may your girls have the most amazing school year! and estie, enjoy your trip to Israel! succos there is so wonderful! i am sure you will be surprised on how much things have changed there... |

We won't have a choice as of now. There is no HS for my kids here at all. No way I would send to the coed HS and my boys are not going to the philly yeshiva. Unless we can't get Frei into an out of town HS cause of her FAs I would really rather she not go to TA girl's HS... not impressed at all with the outcomes. |

i think we will leave and move to EY once ds#1 has finished primary school. people here do send to Gateshead, UK. but i can't imagine sending a 13 yr old to live somewhere else.... |

Good luck to everyone sending kids out-of-town. We are having a hard enough time sending one of dd's to elementary school. Zu, my sis has HS age girls there. One went away in 9th and others stayed for 9th and 10th. She said it depends on the particular class. Edited by daisy, Sep 7 2011, 08:28 AM.

chavamom - she's just started grade 7, so we haven't actually started looking. She's partly looking to get away from the group she's with now who will mostly go to the hs that's a good fit for us (hashkafically and academically). DD feels that if she goes to another city, she'll have more options. She would like to find a school that has serious limmudei kodesh and a high-level general studies program that recognizes the needs of students with atypical learning profiles. I'm guessing we will need to look in the USA for this, and that we won't find a school in Canada that suits, but it's not such an issue as dd is a US citizen. I am a little concerned, however, about how it will work out for her socially, if she isn't with her peer group during term time. |
