March 2, 2006 - The oldest national provider of franchised supplemental educational services, Huntington Learning Center, opened eight franchised centers in January, setting a new record for the number of centers opened in one month. This caps off a banner year of strong growth in 2005 when 50 centers were opened – the largest in any one year. The new centers are located in Pennington, New Jersey, Berlin, Connecticut, Clearwater and Gainesville, Florida, Dekalb and Lake in the Hills, Illinois, Centerville, Ohio, and Rochester, Minnesota.
From January 2005 to January 2006, Huntington’s national network of learning centers grew 30 percent. Huntington now has locations in over 37 states.
“With an entrepreneurial spirit and a sincere interest in boosting student achievement, the owners of each of these new Huntington Learning Centers are joining a fast-growing industry founded on strong partnerships with parents and schools,? said Dr. Raymond Huntington, who co-founded Huntington Learning Center with his wife Eileen Huntington 29 years ago. “Parents and educators trust us because they recognize that Huntington’s mission is to give every child the best education possible, and they know from our track record that we’ll deliver on that promise.?
The longest running provider of supplemental education services, Huntington Learning Center is a pioneer and leader in the franchise learning center arena. Huntington provides instruction in reading, writing, spelling, phonics, mathematics, study skills and SAT and ACT preparation to tens of thousands of students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Huntington’s recent growth has been fueled by the rising number of parents and families seeking tutoring for students facing difficulties in meeting increasingly rigorous academic standards. According to consumer research, families see significant value in companies that can demonstrate a measurable, long-term track record of success in enabling students to bridge gaps in skills and knowledge and earn higher test scores. Since 1998, the supplemental education services industry has grown at a compounded annual rate of nearly 12 percent, reaching $6 billion in 2004.
