English term

are to be educated

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general) Contrato
It is the common intention that their daughters, although they are to be educated in Charedi Schools ...

"are to be" siempre indica obligación o podría ser "debería"?

El resto del párrafo dice:

... they are to be educated in Charedi schools, such schools must be accredited educational establishments and XXX and XXX agree that the girls must be educated in an environment which values further eduction and professional qualifications.

como Rutita propone, concuerdo "han de ser" suena como el tipo de lenguaje apropiado para un contexto legal.

serán educadas

Depending on the context, the phrase "are to be" is often analogous to "will be" or "are proposed to be" and thus does not always carry the sense of obligation. The remainder of the sentence would be helpful for providing the extra context required. From the information provided the sentence could quite easily mean that the daughters will be educated in Charedi schools, hence my suggestion.
