Read.
The first word ever revealed was a command to read. Every student here walks the same path: letters, then words, then a life with the Book.
اقْرَأْ · Iqra. It started with one word. Yours can too.
Strong reading comes before memorization.
Most programs rush students from sounding out letters straight into memorizing. We watched it frustrate kids and stall their progress. So we rebuilt our program around three clear levels, with teachers who make sure every student is truly ready before moving up.
Level 1
Arabic for Qur'an
Where it all starts. Letters, sounds, and joining them into words, until students read directly from the Qur’an.
- The Arabic alphabet, letter by letter
- Joining letters into words
- Pronunciation foundations
- First Qur’anic words and passages
This is your level if you’re starting from zero, or still sounding words out.
Level 2
Reading Fluency + First Surahs
The bridge. Students sit with the teacher one-on-one, building smooth, confident reading from the mushaf while memorizing the short surahs they pray with.
- Fluency from the mushaf, with personal correction
- Makharij and tajweed as needed
- 10 to 20 short surahs for salah
- Confidence, one page at a time
This is your level if you can read, but slowly, and your salah wants more surahs.
Level 3
Juz Amma Memorization
The focused track. Fluent readers memorize Juz Amma cover to cover, with review habits that make it stick and tajweed that makes it beautiful.
- Juz Amma, surah by surah
- Review systems that actually hold
- Advanced tajweed and recitation flow
- Surah al-Mulk, for those ready for more
This is your level if you read fluently and want the memorization every practicing Muslim should carry.
Who it’s for
Every age gets its own class.
Monday to Thursday, 5:00 – 7:00 PM
Monday to Thursday, 5:00 – 7:00 PM
Tue & Thu — L1: 6:00–7:30 PM, L2/3: 8:00–9:00 PM
Think it’s too late for you? It isn’t. The 16+ class exists exactly for the person reading this sentence.
Don’t know your level? That’s our job.
Pick your best guess when you register. In the first week, teachers sit with every student, confirm their level, and move anyone who needs it. No charge, no fuss, no wrong answers.
The program runs in Summer, Fall, and Winter sessions, so students keep climbing: level to level, session to session.
Cost will never be the reason.
A full session is $200 per student ($150 for ages 16+), and siblings get 10, 15, then 25 percent off automatically. If even that is heavy for your family right now, talk to us quietly. We will work something out.

Questions parents ask us
How big are the classes?
We aim for 8 to 10 students per class, capped at 15. Small enough that nobody hides in the back. In Levels 2 and 3, the teacher works with each student one-on-one inside the class block, so every student gets dedicated time every single class.
What if we pick the wrong level?
Then we fix it, free. Teachers confirm every student’s placement in the first week and move anyone who needs it. Picking a level at registration is a best guess, not a commitment.
What happens between classes?
Short, consistent practice at home. Teachers share homework and reminders through a parent group with clear boundaries, and you’ll hear how your child is progressing.
What if a class doesn’t fill up?
Each class needs 5 to 6 students to run. If yours doesn’t reach that, we’ll offer you an alternative class or refund you in full. No fine print.
What does it cost?
$200 per student for a full session (ages 16+ are $150), with automatic family discounts: 10% off the second registrant, 15% off the third, 25% off the fourth and beyond. And if cost is a barrier, contact us. We mean it.
