A local masjid, a big Sunday school nearby
52,150 people lived in Wheaton at the 2020 census, and most homes here carry a Silver Spring mailing address. The closest masjid is the Islamic Education Society of Maryland on Veirs Mill Road, which teaches children Tajweed through short surahs. A little further, the IMAAM Center's Sunday madrasah runs from 10:30 to 2 and follows the MCPS calendar, and the Muslim Community Center on New Hampshire Avenue holds an after-school maktab twice a week.
Downtown Wheaton sits inside the triangle of Georgia Avenue, Veirs Mill Road and University Boulevard, and all three are at their busiest just as after-school programs begin. That's the moment an online class at home starts to make sense.
Progress you can see every week
After each week of classes, the teacher sends you a short note: the pages or ayat your child read, what went well, and one or two things to practise. Over a month you can see exactly how far they've moved, without sitting in on every class.
Children move through four levels: the Noorani Qaida, reading the Quran, Tajweed, and hifz. Each finished level earns a certificate, something younger children especially like to put on the wall.

Wheaton parents ask
Do you teach Quran to children in Wheaton, MD?
Yes, online. Children anywhere in Wheaton, 20902 or 20906, join a live one-on-one class with their own teacher twice a week.
Is IESM or IMAAM connected to Iqra at Home?
No. We're an independent online school. We mention local masjids so families can find them for prayer and community.
We already do Sunday madrasah. Why add more?
Sunday madrasah covers a lot in one morning. Two short weekday classes keep your child reading in between, so a week doesn't go by without practice.
Does my child need a laptop?
A laptop or tablet with a camera works best, so the teacher can see the page and your child.
What does it cost for two children?
$175 a month in total: $100 for the first and $75 for the second. The first class is free.
