Quran classes for kids in Greenbelt
Greenbelt sits between three of the county's biggest Islamic centers, each in a different direction. Our classes need no drive at all: five classes a week, at home.

Three masjids, three directions
Greenbelt had 24,921 residents at the 2020 census. Within about two and a half miles, straight-line, are three large centers: Dar-us-Salaam in College Park to the west, and the Diyanet Center of America and PGMA, both with Lanham addresses, to the east.
Between them, Greenbelt children can choose a full-time Islamic school, two full-time hifz programs, Sunday schools in English or Turkish, and evening classes for ages 8 to 14. What none of them offers is a teacher who comes to your living room.
That's what we do: five one-on-one classes a week, which sit comfortably alongside a weekend program.
A planned town, a planned week
Greenbelt was the first and largest of three New Deal Greenbelt Towns and was incorporated on June 1, 1937. Its original core is now a National Historic Landmark, and Greenbelt Park, run by the National Park Service, lies on the city's southern side.
A town built to a plan suits a weekly plan. Greenbelt Middle runs until 4:15 this year, so older children often take a 5 pm class, while Springhill Lake Elementary lets out at 1:45, early enough for a class before the evening.

Questions
Greenbelt parents ask
Are there Quran classes for kids in Greenbelt, MD?
Iqra at Home teaches Greenbelt children online, one-on-one, every weekday. Three centers within about 2.5 miles, Dar-us-Salaam, the Diyanet Center and PGMA, also run children's programs.
Greenbelt Middle ends at 4:15. When could classes be?
Late-bell families usually pick 5 or 5:30 pm, or later in the evening. Your teacher works around your child's day.
Do you teach in Greenbelt East and Franklin Park too?
Yes, every part of Greenbelt, and every part of Maryland, because classes happen online.
Can my child learn with you and attend a Sunday school?
Yes. Your teacher can follow the Sunday school's pace, so the weekday classes revise what was taught at the weekend.
How do sibling prices work?
Two children are $50 a month together, whatever their levels. For three or more, ask us for a family price. The first week is free.
