They already tried the "prestigious" British school comes to NYC with Wetherby Pembridge. It... did not go well.

They don't really make the kids wear those hats do they? I cannot imagine any modern teenager being OK with that.

Who will apply? If international students are the safest bet to fill this school, the current Trump administration is not the best time for Amity Education Group to make this move.

Fascinating to read over the morning coffee.
I knew of various UK boarding schools licensing their name and "brand" for overseas campuses in the Middle East and Asia. Repton comes to mind, and now Harrow. I hope the money is worth it. Seems very cringe so OP's title is appropriate. To make it ironic is that the whole concept of a traditional British school experience has changed dramatically in the last decade because no one knows what British means any more.
Now Harrow? They have 8 campuses already across Asia.

Like all other new and for-profit NYC privates (Avenues comes to mind), it will be viewed with derision by the crowd that assumes your DC couldn't get in anywhere else.

Its cringe because it's basically a licensing of their name and reputation to a for-profit entity. Which is not a recipe for quality.

This is total cringe.
Thoughts?
Paywall on the Bloomberg article.
Why cringe? Is it the hats?
It's not not the hats. But it's the fake Britishness that's cringe.

$75k seems reasonable for a boarding school and it’s right on LI so you can send your kid to boarding school local and still easily see their games and what not.
I assume they will do better than someone just randomly creating a new boarding school.

They already have 8 other campuses throughout Asia. This is the equivalent of McDonald's opening another franchise.
