Why online fits Anne Arundel
Anne Arundel County had 588,261 residents at the 2020 census, up 9.4 percent from 2010, and about 75,700 of them were children aged 5 to 14. Only two places are incorporated, Annapolis and the small town of Highland Beach; Glen Burnie, Severn, Odenton and the rest are unincorporated communities.
Inside the county, the masjids with children's programs that we could confirm are both run by the Islamic Society of Annapolis: Masjid Al-Ansar in Annapolis and the Makkah Learning Center in Gambrills. Hanover has a Friday prayer, and Fort Meade a prayer room on post. In the north, the nearest maktab is just over the city line, at Masjid E Bilal in Baltimore's Brooklyn neighborhood. Glen Burnie, Pasadena and Severna Park are each about six miles from the nearest masjid with children's classes.
Classes at home take those miles out of the week.
Eid and the AACPS calendar
The 2026-27 AACPS calendar, adopted by the Board on December 3, 2025, closes schools and central offices on Tuesday, March 9, 2027 for Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Adha, on Monday, May 17, 2027, is a regular school day, but it's on the calendar's list of religious observances: AACPS doesn't schedule tests on those days, and no school activities run after sundown the evening before either Eid.
Bell times are unusually uniform: almost every elementary school runs 8:00 to 2:25, every middle school 9:15 to 3:55 and every comprehensive high school 8:30 to 3:18. Elementary children are home early, which leaves room for an afternoon class.
Questions
Anne Arundel parents ask
Do you teach in person anywhere in Anne Arundel County?
No, every class is online. A family in Pasadena, about six miles from the nearest masjid we list, gets the same teacher and price as one next to Masjid Al-Ansar.
Does AACPS close for Eid?
In 2026-27, schools close on March 9, 2027 for Eid al-Fitr. On Eid al-Adha, May 17, schools are open, but tests aren't scheduled and no school activities run after sundown the evening before.
Which Anne Arundel communities do you serve?
All of them. The pages above cover the communities families ask about most; Linthicum, Millersville, Edgewater, Davidsonville, Brooklyn Park and everywhere else are served the same way.
Do you teach military families at Fort Meade?
Yes. Classes are online, so families on post can join, and your child keeps the same teacher after a move.
Can my child do the ISA maktab and your classes?
Yes. Use ours on the days the maktab doesn't meet, or on weekends, so your child reads with a teacher right through the week.
