History
Established in 2011.
Mathnasium of Lake Oswego was our first Mathnasium Learning Center, which was opened in 2011. In 2013 we opened Mathnasium of West Linn, and in early 2014 we acquired the existing Mathnasium of Raleigh Hills from the previous owner. In the subsequent year enrollment tripled! In 2018 we added a new location in NE Portland.
