The Harrow and other British public school expansions are a sign of weakness. The top schools in the U.S. have enough support from their alumni and parents and through tuition so that they don't need to license their name. It's absolutely brand dilution.

Avenues is a for-profit model (which has never made sense to me.) Good private schools should not be set up to make a profit even if they own their real estate, which I'm pretty sure Avenues does not so they have to pay rent.

Sending your kids to *a* Harrow and not *the* Harrow is so tacky and would probably get you laughed at if you ran into some noble in the Annabel’s or 5 Hertford Street bathroom.
