The capital's own masjid
Annapolis was incorporated in 1708 and had 40,812 residents at the 2020 census. It's one of only two municipalities in Anne Arundel County; the other is the small town of Highland Beach. Its masjid, Masjid Al-Ansar, is run by the Islamic Society of Annapolis on Old Solomons Island Road, inside the city limits.
The society also runs the Makkah Learning Center in Gambrills, home of its weekend school. Its maktab teaches the Arabic alphabet, Quran reading and memorization with Tajweed, the meanings of surahs and Islamic studies, though its website doesn't publish 2026-27 times or fees.
If the maktab's days fit your family, it's a good local program. If they don't, one-on-one classes at home, at times you set, keep your child reading through the week.
State House and Naval Academy
The Maryland State House is the oldest state capitol still in continuous legislative use, and the only one that has served as the nation's capitol. A few streets away, the Naval Academy began as the Naval School at Fort Severn on October 10, 1845.
Annapolis Elementary lets out at 2:25 this school year, early enough for a class at 3, while middle schoolers at Annapolis Middle finish at 3:55 and can read at 4:45.
