History

In 1890, a newspaper editor named Thomas J. Foster founded a school to provide coal miners with the education they needed to advance in their careers and improve worker safety. At the turn of the century, schools were officially known as International Correspondence Schools (ICS), and one in every 27 adults in the US have taken ICS courses. In December 2009, Penn Foster university was purchased with test preparation and education support company The Princeton Review from its previous owner, Wicks Group, a private equity firm that bought the school from Thomson Corporation in 2007. On May 18, 2012, the brand name and operation The Princeton Review was bought for $ 33 million by Charlesbank Capital Partners, a private equity firm. The parent company was renamed Education Holdings 1, Inc. In 2013, Education Holdings 1 filed for bankruptcy; it came out two months later.
