Quran classes for kids in Bowie
Bowie is the biggest city in Prince George's County, yet every masjid near it is a drive away in Glenn Dale or Lanham. Our Quran classes come to your home instead.
The first week costs you nothing. From then on it's $29 a month for five weekday classes, or $50 for two siblings.

A big city with no masjid
Bowie had 58,329 residents at the 2020 census, which makes it the largest municipality in Prince George's County. In November 2026 we couldn't find a masjid inside the city limits. The closest is Jamil-ul-Jalil on Lanham-Severn Road in Glenn Dale, where an Islamic school meets every Sunday for children and adults.
A little farther west, two large centers with Lanham addresses run Sunday schools of their own. The Diyanet Center of America teaches its English section from 1 to 4 on Sundays, at $500 for the school year for a first child, and registration for ages 4 to 6 in that section is closed. PGMA charges $450 a year for one child.
Sunday school gives children a weekly anchor. What it can't give is practice between Sundays, and that's where short classes at home come in.
From Belair to Collington Station
Most of today's Bowie grew out of Belair, the planned community Levitt and Sons began building after buying the Belair Estate in 1957. The estate's mansion, built around 1745 for Provincial Governor Samuel Ogle, is now a museum run by the city.
Whichever corner of Bowie you live in, from Kenilworth and Pointer Ridge to the newer streets around Collington Station, the class is the same: your child logs on at the agreed time, reads aloud to their own teacher, and has every letter checked.

Questions
Bowie parents ask
Is there a masjid in Bowie, MD?
We didn't find one inside the city limits in November 2026. Jamil-ul-Jalil in Glenn Dale is about five miles from the center of Bowie, and the Diyanet Center and PGMA, both with Lanham addresses, are a little farther west.
Are there Quran classes for kids in Bowie?
Yes, online. Iqra at Home teaches Bowie children live and one-on-one, five days a week, Monday to Friday, in 20715, 20716, 20720 and 20721.
Can weekday classes follow my child's Sunday school?
Yes. Tell the teacher what your child covers on Sundays, and the weekday classes can revise it, so nothing learned at the weekend is forgotten by the next one.
My son finishes school at 2:15. Can he have an earlier class?
Yes. Bowie High lets out at 2:15 in 2026-27, so a class at 3:30 or 4 is easy to arrange, and evening times are open too.
What does one child cost each month?
$29 for five classes a week. Two children are $50 a month, and the first week costs nothing.
