Eight hours, or one
Laurel was incorporated in 1870 and had 30,060 residents at the 2020 census. Its masjid, the Islamic Community Center of Laurel on Contee Road, runs the Thamarat Institute from Monday to Thursday, 5 to 7 pm, from September 8, 2026 to June 17, 2027, at $90 a month per child. Students are encouraged to come all four days; children 6 and under can come two.
ICCL also runs ICCL Academy, a school from pre-K through the elementary grades, and a Sunday school. For many families that's the ideal. For others, eight hours a week at the masjid is more than the week can hold.
One-on-one classes at home skip the drive entirely. They also pair well with ICCL's two-day option for little ones.
One name, three counties
Laurel was founded as a mill town on the Patuxent River in the early 1800s, and the Laurel Museum on Main Street is housed in an 1840 mill worker's home. The name has spread far past the old town: Laurel mailing addresses cover South Laurel, West Laurel, Montpelier and Konterra, and across the county lines North Laurel in Howard and Maryland City in Anne Arundel.
Online classes don't mind which Laurel you live in. Your child reads with the same teacher, at the same times each week, wherever the address falls.
