A strong weekend, a quiet week
Potomac had 47,018 residents at the 2020 census. Its masjid, the Islamic Community Center of Potomac on River Road, runs a Sunday school from 10:30 to 1:30 for children aged 4 to 16 and follows the MCPS calendar. It also lists a weekly Friday Quran class for the same ages, focused on pronouncing every letter correctly.
On Montrose Road, the Muslim Community School teaches full-time from age 2 through grade 12, with Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies every day.
For children in public school, that often leaves Monday to Thursday without any Quran at all. Two short one-on-one classes on those evenings keep the reading going, so Sunday's lesson isn't starting from scratch.
Each child at their own pace
In a group class, the pace is set for the middle of the room. One-on-one, it's set for your child. A quick reader moves on to Tajweed; a child who mixes up similar letters gets extra time on them, without anyone else watching.
Brothers and sisters share one teacher but have separate classes, and a single weekly note covers them all.

Potomac parents ask
Are there Quran classes for kids in Potomac, MD?
Yes. Iqra at Home teaches Potomac children online, live and one-on-one, twice a week, anywhere in 20854.
Can my child keep going to ICCP's Sunday school?
Of course. Sunday school and our weekday lessons work well together. Let the teacher know what your child is studying there.
Is Iqra at Home part of ICCP or the Muslim Community School?
No, we're independent and teach only online.
How fast will my child learn to read?
It depends on age and practice. The Noorani Qaida usually takes 3 to 6 months, and the weekly note shows you their progress the whole way.
Can I choose a female teacher?
Yes, just select it on the booking form.
