Three schools within two miles
Lanham, a census-designated place of 11,282 people in 2020, was counted together with Seabrook as Lanham-Seabrook until the 2010 census, and the Lanham Seabrook Post Office still serves both. Three Islamic centers with Lanham addresses sit just over the line in Seabrook, all within about two miles.
The Prince George's Muslim Association runs a Sunday school, the Ahl al-Qur'an evening classes and a full-time hifz school. The Diyanet Center of America, built in classical Ottoman style, has a Sunday school with Turkish and English sections and a full-time hifz academy. M&M Academy on Good Luck Road is a K-12 Islamic school with a Quran memorization program.
That's a lot of choice, and much of it is for children who can already read.
Before they're old enough
PGMA's evening classes take children from 8, its hifz school from 8, and the Diyanet Center's hifz academy from 7. The Diyanet Center's English Sunday section does have a group for 4- to 6-year-olds, but its registration is closed this year.
Ages 4 to 7 are when the Qaida goes in most easily. Our classes start at 4: short one-on-one sessions a week, so when your child is old enough for a masjid program, they arrive already reading.
