Kumon relocates to Westbard Square in Bethesda


Kumon Math and Reading Center
has relocated from 5450 Westbard Avenue at the Westwood Shopping Center to 5400 Westbard Avenue, Suite 260, next door at Westbard Square. It is accessible from the new Westbard Square building's parking garage. The afterschool academic program is one of the last tenants to vacate the strip mall, which is slated for demolition to clear the way for a new apartment building this year. 


Kumon was founded in Japan in 1955, when teacher Toru Kumon developed a set of worksheets that helped his own son, Takeshi, attain advanced proficiency in math. His worksheets inspired those used by the Kumon centers worldwide today. As the company says, "Right at this moment, someone, somewhere around the world, is learning with Kumon."
