Mathnasium of Lexington is entering a new chapter with a transition in ownership, a new location and a community celebration planned to welcome families into the center’s future.

As of Saturday, Aug. 1, Mathnasium of Lexington transitions to new ownership under Ali Kahn, a former Mathnasium parent who understands firsthand the impact the program can have on students and families.

“I know the value Mathnasium provides because I have experienced it as a parent,” said Kahn. “I am honored to continue building on the strong foundation that has been created here and look forward to serving Lexington families for years to come.”

Outgoing owner Annette Sudduth, who has led Mathnasium of Lexington for the past 16 years, will continue serving the center in a new role as training manager and community relations manager while also continuing as a part-time instructor.

“Serving as the owner of Mathnasium of Lexington has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” Sudduth said. “Watching students grow in confidence, independence and their belief in themselves has been incredibly rewarding. While ownership is changing, my commitment to this Mathnasium family is not ending. I am excited to continue supporting our students, families, and team in this next role.”

The majority of the current instructional team is expected to remain in place, the business said in a news release.

As part of this next chapter, Mathnasium of Lexington will also relocate to a new, larger facility located at 930 North Lake Drive, Lexington. The office is in the Lexington Towne Centre near Big Air and Goldfish Swim School.

The new location will provide families with improved accessibility, easier parking, additional space for students and an enhanced drop-off and pick-up experience, according to the business. Instruction begins at the new location on Monday, Aug. 3.

“The move represents an opportunity for Mathnasium of Lexington to grow while continuing to provide the personalized instruction and support that families value,” said Kahn. “We are excited to welcome current families, new families and the Lexington community into this new space.”

To celebrate the transition and introduce the new ownership team, Mathnasium of Lexington will host a grand opening celebration from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22. The event will include opportunities for families and community members to tour the new facility and meet the team.

Mathnasium of Lexington is part of the Mathnasium network, a global franchise of more than 1,100 learning centers dedicated to helping children build confidence and succeed in math.
