Smaller schools also means bigger costs. In order to increase the available seats it would make sense to improve the economies of scale. Every small school would need it’s own administration, support staff, overhead costs, fundraising efforts etc. If we are having enough trouble finding $ for what we have wouldn’t it make sense to lower costs not increase them. Think about the cost per student in BMG vs. a yeshiva of 30 boys.
Girls schools also thrive on interaction with many friends and extra curricular activities. small schools would kill that.
No matter how we cut it, unless someone from the YWN CR is willing and able to step up and fund a solution we are not accomplishing much.
