A school, but no masjid
Elkridge had 25,171 people at the 2020 census. Tarbiyah Academy, on Business Parkway, is a full-time Islamic school from preschool to 8th grade and describes itself as Maryland's only preschool-to-8th-grade IB school. For its students, Quran is part of every day.
For children in public school, it's different. We couldn't find a masjid inside Elkridge. The nearest is the Muslim Family Center's Gateway Masjid in Columbia, whose maktab is full for 2026-27, and the Islamic Community of Hanover, which currently holds only a Friday prayer at 1:30.
That leaves weekday Quran for public-school children in Elkridge mostly up to parents. Two one-on-one classes at home, with a teacher who checks every letter, take that job off your list.
Between I-95 and Route 1
Elkridge sits between I-95, Route 1, MD-100 and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, and plenty of parents here commute. A class at a fixed time at home, rather than a drive to Columbia or Catonsville, is often the only way weekday Quran fits.
Each week, the teacher sends a short note about what your child read, what went well and what to practise, so you stay in the loop even on the nights you're late.
