History

Huntington Learning Center - What Works - Fighting with your child about his or her grades doesn't work. Punishing your child about his or her grades doesn't work. And ignoring the problem certainly doesn't work either. What works...

Huntington Learning Center was founded in 1977 by Dr. Raymond Huntington and his wife Eileen. The couple opened a second center in 1978 and began franchising locations in 1985. The company grew aggressively during the 1980s and 1990s, and by 1999, the chain had opened 200 units.

In 2000, Huntington defaulted on payments to some of its creditors which filed a court petition seeking involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Huntington fought the petition and repaid the creditors. The company subsequently slowed its growth and sold some of its company-owned stores.
