Founded in 1977, Huntington Learning Center is a pioneer and leader in the franchise learning center industry. Each year, quality instruction is provided to tens of thousands of students in kindergarten through 12th grade through a national network of franchise and company-owned Huntington Learning Centers. Parents trust Huntington, because they understand that Huntington’s mission is to give every child the best education possible, and that Huntington does this by building the basic skills they need to succeed in school.

There are more students today than ever before and more parents who want to have them tutored. According to the U.S. Department of Education, enrollment in elementary and secondary schools rose 20% between 1985 and 2003 to more than 54 million students. The pool of school-age children is constantly being refreshed and is expected to grow by an additional 2 million over the next 10 years. One of the most important factors is that parents are increasingly looking for a branded tutoring program because parents now, more than ever, are consumers of education.
