Of course we do. Formal schooling for children has existed among Jews for over 2,000 years (Talmud, Bava Batra 21b), long before the Western nations implemented it in the last couple of centuries. And higher learning dates back to Abraham (Talmud, Yoma 28b).

What makes a Jew 'Modern Orthodox'?

Modern Orthodox Jews consider themselves bound by the 613 commandments in the Torah as understood by the unbroken rabbinical tradition from biblical times to the present. In this regard, they agree with Hassidic Jews. Modern Orthodoxy generally accepts the role of modern science and engages vigorously with the secular world. Where Hassidic Jews dress very distinctively and frequently minimize their contact with the secular community, modern Orthodox Jews are likely to blend into a crowd, with perhaps only a kippah (yarmulke) identifying them as Jews. Where Hassidic Jews view a yeshiva education as normal, Modern Orthodox Jews go to universities and graduate programs -- although significant numbers attend Yeshiva University, an Orthodox university.

Do Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues?

Orthodox Jewish men go only to Orthodox synagogues. Non-Orthodox Jewish men would be likely to go to non-Orthodox places of worship. In Israel, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, there are prevalent numbers of non-Orthodox or Liberal synagogues. As a result, people in those places who are themselves Liberal can often find a Liberal synagogue in which to worship. Outside of those four countries, it is very rare to find a Liberal synagogue, so Jews of all religiousities (both Liberal and Orthodox) go to Orthodox synagogues for prayer, but will not perform all of the Orthodox Mitzvot when not in synagogue.
