Two masjids, busy afternoons
Dundalk was never incorporated, yet 67,796 people lived there at the 2020 census, more than in the city of Annapolis. Two masjids inside it teach children. Masjid ZamZam on Lynch Road lists a Quran and Qaida class for kids of all ages from Monday to Thursday, 4:30 to 6:30, and a Sunday school from 10:30 to 1, both with no fee.
Al-ILM Maryland, at Masjid Quba on East Dunmanway, runs a hifz program, separate evening Quran classes for boys and girls, weekend Islamic education for boys and an Alimah course for girls.
Those are generous programs, and they teach in groups. Some children read best with one teacher who hears every letter, and some families can't get to the masjid by 4:30. That's who our classes at home are for.
A village built for steelworkers
In 1916 Bethlehem Steel bought 1,000 acres of farmland here to build homes for its workers, and the planned village that grew from it is still the heart of Old Dundalk. Two years earlier, in 1814, about 3,000 Maryland militiamen had met the British at the Battle of North Point, a short drive down North Point Road.
Plenty of Dundalk families still work shifts. Our classes are set for the times that suit your week, and you can move one with 24 hours' notice.

Questions
Dundalk parents ask
Are there Quran classes for kids in Dundalk, MD?
Yes. Masjid ZamZam lists free Quran and Qaida classes on weekday afternoons, Al-ILM Maryland at Masjid Quba runs evening Quran classes and hifz, and Iqra at Home teaches online, one-on-one.
ZamZam's classes have no fee. Why pay for yours?
If a group class at the masjid suits your child, it's a fine choice. Families come to us for one-on-one attention, one teacher who knows every child in the house, and class times the masjid doesn't offer.
Do you cover Turner Station and St. Helena?
Yes. Every part of Dundalk is covered, from Turner Station and St. Helena to Colgate and Charlesmont, because classes happen online.
Is Iqra at Home part of Masjid ZamZam or Al-ILM?
No. We're an independent online school, and we list Dundalk's masjids so local families can find them.
What do two brothers cost?
Two brothers pay $50 a month together, with five classes a week each. The first week is free.
