*** If you are a new student, please email or call us regarding registration, which we are handling digitally. All on-site visits are by appointment only. Please register at least one day in advance. No same-day registrations. ***
For Spring Session 2024 (Jan 8 – May 31), we will be continuing to offer in-personinteractive classes with our talented teachers and rigorous curriculum. We will still be offering an online option for an additional administrative fee. While online classes were a necessity due to significant health risks, students are certainly more focused and engaged when actually in the classroom. Having students and teachers physically together helps build a learning community, and students are more motivated by this heightened connection to their peers and teacher.
Please register early by Friday 11/17/23 for a discount. Deadline for registration is 12/22 because we need to make preparations. Starting 12/23 there will be a $35 late fee.
Huntington Education has been helping students excel for over 30 years. We offer enrichment classes for 2nd – 12th grade for Math, English, Physics, PSAT, and SAT I & II. We have a passion for teaching and truly care about our students, and this dedication is reflected by all of our exceptional teachers at Huntington Education.
Our Philosophy
A strong foundation in math and English is critical for students to enjoy academic success. Our supplemental education classes are designed to aid remedial students who are struggling in school as well as top performers who are excelling in the classroom. We provide enrichment education that fosters high achievement and self-reliance.
Many after-school programs require students to attend classes every day. We do not believe in this quantity-over-quality approach. Instead, we offer maximal learning with minimal time spent in class.
Our math classes do much more than strengthen students’ calculation skills. They also cultivate the analytical thinking skills needed for successful problem solving. We ensure that our students are equipped to handle math word problems that so often cause them difficulty.
The English curriculum is similarly balanced. There is no quick path to becoming an excellent writer. In addition to the expected emphasis on grammar, reading comprehension, and vocabulary, we also give substantive instruction in writing structure and style. Our students learn how to analyze what they read and how to eloquently express their thoughts in their writing.
Our Mission
We equip students with the building blocks to succeed inside and outside the classroom and give them an edge in an increasingly competitive world.
Let Huntington Education help your student study “smarter,” not harder. Call (626)765-7722 for more information.

Testimonials
Albert L – Flintridge Preparatory School, University of Pennsylvania
I have been going here since 5th grade. Before going, I was mediocre with math at best. It was almost a foreign language. However, after going to Huntington Education, my math abilities began to grow exponentially. Soon, my math scores were almost always perfect. During the STAR testing during my middle school years, I received the max score of 600 every time. Also, during the ISEE, I scored perfect 9’s without missing a single question. The same continued for my SAT I’s and II’s, 800’s all around. My success started due to the methodology I learned from this fantastic place. I highly recommend this place. Even if you consider yourself fantastic at math, there are still things you can learn from here. I accredit most of my success and found interest in math to Huntington Education; they really help develop strong fundamentals.
