The masjid on Brandy Farms Lane
Gambrills means two things. The census place is a small area north of Odenton, but most people mean the 21054 ZIP code, home to 13,970 people in 2020, much of it overlapping Odenton and Crofton.
Inside 21054 is the Islamic Society of Annapolis's masjid at 814 Brandy Farms Lane, the Makkah Learning Center. The society runs its maktab here, teaching the Arabic alphabet, Quran reading and memorization with Tajweed, and Islamic studies, along with its weekend school and a homeschool co-op. The website doesn't list this year's times or fees.
With a masjid this close, weekends are well covered. Our classes give the weekdays the same steady rhythm, at home.
Where Johns Hopkins was born
Whites Hall, built in 1784 on what's now Johns Hopkins Road, is the birthplace and boyhood home of Johns Hopkins, whose fortune later founded the university and hospital in Baltimore. It's private land today.
Four Seasons Elementary lets out at 2:25 this school year, so a younger child can read mid-afternoon, and an older brother or sister at Arundel High after 3:30.
