Between Sundays, the reading keeps going
Germantown is the third-most populous community in Maryland, with 91,249 people at the 2020 census, and two of its masjids sit only a few minutes apart. Plenty of children here spend Sunday morning at the ISG Weekend School, which meets at the masjid on Blunt Road from 10:30 to 1:30.
A weekly class is a good anchor. But a child learning to read the Quran needs to read aloud to someone who can correct them more than once a week, and that is the gap we fill. Two short one-on-one classes between Monday and Thursday keep the Qaida moving, keep new surahs fresh, and catch small mistakes before they turn into habits.
If your child already has a weekend school book or a hifz portion, send the teacher a photo of the page. They can work on the same lesson, so the two never pull in different directions.
Why Germantown parents pick one-on-one
Crossing Germantown at 6 pm means MD-118, Great Seneca Highway or Father Hurley Boulevard in traffic, then waiting in the car while class finishes. Online, none of that happens. Your child sits down at the kitchen table in Churchill Village or Middlebrook and starts on time.
One teacher works with the whole family. A younger sister on the Qaida and an older brother on his hifz each get their own half hour at their own level, and you read a single weekly note about both. Daughters can learn with a female teacher if you prefer.
Germantown's in-person programs are a real strength. The Noor Center runs an after-school Quran program for children at its masjid, and ISG runs the Dar Al-Qur'an hifz program. If your child loves learning in a group, start there. If they need someone's full attention, or the times clash with practice and homework, we are the one-on-one option.

Germantown parents ask
Is there a Quran teacher for kids in Germantown, MD?
Your child's teacher comes to your home by video, so it doesn't matter whether you live in 20874 or 20876. Classes are live and one-on-one on Zoom, at times set in Eastern Time.
Can my child stay in ISG's weekend school and still do this?
Yes, and plenty of families do both. Sunday school gives your child friends and a full morning of Islamic Studies; our two short weekday classes give them one-on-one reading. Tell the teacher what the weekend school is covering.
Are your classes held at The Noor Center or ISG?
No. Iqra at Home is an independent online school. We list Germantown's masjids to help families find them, but our classes happen only online.
My son is starting hifz. Can you help with revision?
Yes. Hifz students recite their new lines and their revision to the teacher every class, and the weekly note tells you which parts are solid and which need another look.
What would three children cost?
$250 a month: $100 for the first child and $75 for each of the other two. The first class is free.
