Business Model
The “Huntington System” is the proprietary instructional format that the franchisor has developed, and franchisees use. Their unique approach to tutoring, test prep, and subject tutoring is tailored to individual student’s needs and delivers multiple revenue streams for franchisees and industry-best results for students. Franchisees offer the services through their brick-and-mortar location and online as part of the $5 billion supplemental education industry that is expected to grow to nearly $16 billion by 2027. Huntington is an award-winning franchise that helps its franchise owners build a successful business through world-class training and support.
Founded in 1977 by Dr. Ray Huntington and Mrs. Eileen Huntington, Huntington Learning Center is now transitioning to the second generation of the founding family, Anne Huntington. Anne serves as the company’s President.

We estimated Kumon’s revenue based on the number of subject-students reported in its FDD and their monthly fee, registration fee, and materials fee obtained from a web search.
