Home of the Islamic Society
Woodlawn, a census-designated place of 39,986 people in 2020, is best known as home to the Social Security Administration's headquarters. It's also home to the Islamic Society of Baltimore on Johnnycake Road, where President Obama made his first visit to an American mosque as president, in February 2016.
ISB runs Al-Rahmah School, a full-time Islamic school, a Sunday school for ages 5 to 21, and the Al-Rahmah after-school academy. Masjid Fatima, also inside Woodlawn though its address says Catonsville, runs a Sunday school for ages 5 to 12. On Woodlawn Drive, Al Madina Institute of Knowledge runs a maktab five days a week after school and a weekend Islamic school for boys and girls.
That's a lot of Islamic education within a mile or two. What a group program can't give is one teacher's full attention on one child, and that's the gap our classes fill.
Four evenings, or classes at home
ISB's after-school academy asks for four evenings a week, 5:00 to 6:30, from August 24, 2026 to June 10, 2027, at $100 a month. For some children that's ideal.
For a child who also has sports, tutoring or a long bus ride home from Woodlawn High, which lets out at 2:15, classes at home with us may be easier to keep. You could also do both.

Questions
Woodlawn parents ask
Are there Quran classes for kids in Woodlawn, MD?
Plenty. ISB, Al Madina Institute of Knowledge and Masjid Fatima all teach children inside Woodlawn, and Iqra at Home adds one-on-one online classes at home.
Is the Islamic Society of Baltimore in Woodlawn or Catonsville?
By census lines it's in Woodlawn, even though its mailing address reads Baltimore or Windsor Mill, MD 21244.
Can my child do ISB's after-school academy and your classes?
Yes. Put ours on the days the academy doesn't meet, such as Friday or the weekend, so your child reads every day.

Yes. Every Woodlawn address is covered, whether your mail says Gwynn Oak, Catonsville or Windsor Mill.
