Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Basis of Presentation.  The Company’s organizational structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which include, but are not limited to, customers, the nature of products and services and use of resources. The business segments disclosed in the Consolidated Financial Statements are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate the business segment results. The Company has six reportable segments: KHE, KTP, Kaplan International, cable, television broadcasting and other businesses.
The Company evaluates segment performance based on operating income before amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets. The accounting policies at the segments are the same as described in Note 2. In computing income from operations by segment, the effects of equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates, interest income, interest expense, other non-operating income and expense items and income taxes are not included. Intersegment sales are not material.
Identifiable assets by segment are those assets used in the Company’s operations in each business segment. The Prepaid Pension cost is not included in identifiable assets by segment. Investments in marketable equity securities are discussed in Note 4.  
Education.  Education products and services are provided by Kaplan, Inc. KHE includes Kaplan’s postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed-facility colleges, as well as online postsecondary and career programs. KHE also includes the domestic professional training businesses. KTP includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs. Kaplan International includes professional training and postsecondary education businesses outside the United States, as well as English-language programs.
Kaplan’s Colloquy business moved from Kaplan International to Kaplan Corporate effective January 1, 2013. Segment operating results of the education division have been restated to reflect this change.
Kaplan sold Kidum in August 2012, EduNeering in April 2012, KLT in February 2012, KCS in October 2011 and KVE in July 2011; therefore, the education division’s operating results exclude these businesses.
In response to student demand levels, Kaplan has formulated and implemented restructuring plans at its various businesses that have resulted in significant costs in the past three years, with the objective of establishing lower cost levels in future periods. Across all Kaplan businesses, restructuring costs of $36.4 million, $45.2 million and $28.9 million were recorded in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as follows:

KHE incurred restructuring costs of $19.5 million, $23.4 million and $13.2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily from accelerated depreciation and severance and lease obligations. In 2013 and 2012, these costs were incurred in connection with a plan announced in September 2012 for KHE to close or consolidate operations at 13 ground campuses, along with plans to consolidate facilities and reduce workforce at its online programs. The 2011 costs were primarily severance costs from workforce reduction programs.
Kaplan International incurred restructuring costs of $5.8 million, $16.4 million and $1.0 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These restructuring costs were largely in Australia, where Kaplan is consolidating and restructuring its businesses, and included lease obligations, accelerated depreciation and severance charges.
In 2010, KTP began implementing a plan to reorganize its business consistent with the migration of students to Kaplan’s online and hybrid test preparation offerings, reducing the number of leased test preparation centers. In 2011, implementation of the plan was completed and $12.5 million in lease and severance obligations and accelerated depreciation was recorded.
Total accrued restructuring costs at Kaplan were $17.6 million at the end of each of 2013 and 2012.
In the second quarter of 2012, Kaplan International results benefited from a favorable $3.9 million out of period expense adjustment related to certain items in 2011 and 2010. With respect to this out of period expense adjustment, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.
Cable.  Cable operations consist of cable systems offering video, Internet, phone and other services to subscribers in midwestern, western and southern states. The principal source of revenue is monthly subscription fees charged for services.
Television Broadcasting.  Television broadcasting operations are conducted through six VHF television stations serving the Detroit, Houston, Miami, San Antonio, Orlando and Jacksonville television markets. All stations are network-affiliated (except for WJXT in Jacksonville), with revenues derived primarily from sales of advertising time.
Other Businesses. Other businesses includes the results of Social Code, a marketing solutions provider helping companies with marketing on social-media platforms; Celtic Healthcare, a provider of home health and hospice services in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions, acquired by the Company in November 2012; Forney, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications, acquired by the Company in August 2013; and Trove, a digital team focused on emerging technologies and new product development. Also included are The Slate Group and FP Group, previously included as part of the Company’s newspaper publishing division, which publish online and print magazines and websites.
Corporate Office.  Corporate office includes the expenses of the Company’s corporate office and a net pension credit.
Geographical Information.  The Company’s non-U.S. revenues in 2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $672 million, $644 million and $594 million, respectively, primarily from Kaplan’s operations outside the U.S. The Company’s long-lived assets in non-U.S. countries (excluding goodwill and other intangible assets), totaled approximately $66 million and $58 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
