The short answer
Islamic homeschool Quran classes at Online Quran Learnings are live, one-to-one lessons in Quran and Islamic studies that fit inside your homeschool week. Your child has a 30-minute lesson with their own teacher, one to five times a week, at any hour of the day, so you can book a 10 am lesson as well as an evening one.
We are a part-time Quran and Islamic studies provider, not an accredited school. We do not issue transcripts, grades or certificates, and we do not teach maths, English or science. Every child is tested at the end of each month, and the monthly progress report is based on that test. Fees start at $30 a month, and the free trial of up to 3 days needs no card.

Is it a fit?
Who are these homeschool Quran classes for?
Muslim families who teach at home and want a live teacher for their child’s Quran and Islamic studies. Whether you call it homeschooling, home schooling or home education, the lessons are the same.
You teach the main subjects yourself
You plan the maths, English and science. You want Quran and Islamic studies taught by a teacher, one-to-one.
You need daytime hours
A local madrasah or weekend school often runs at fixed times. Our classes run 24/7 in your own time zone, so a lesson can sit in the middle of your school morning.
Your child learns best one-to-one
One teacher hears your child read and corrects them as they read, at your child’s own level.
You want to see progress
A test every month, a report based on it, and every lesson recorded. You can join any class too.
Families come to us from the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UAE. See our pages for the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia.

Around your plan
What does a homeschool week with Quran lessons look like?
You choose one to five 30-minute lessons a week and the hour of each one. Classes run 24/7 in your own time zone, so a lesson can sit in the middle of your school morning and the rest of your day stays yours. One lesson a week is a gentle start for the youngest children or a busy term. Five a week is the pace we suggest for Hifz.

Quran and Islamic studies
What is the Quran and Islamic studies curriculum for homeschoolers?
It is the Quran and Islamic studies part of a Muslim homeschool curriculum, taught live: set books, set levels and one teacher. It does not cover maths, English or science. The teacher starts where your child is, not where their age says.
The Quran, stage by stage
- Noorani QaidaFrom age 4, with our own Qaida book: 17 lessons in 205 colourful pages.
- Reading the QuranFrom the first surahs to reading a page on their own, corrected as they read.
- TajweedThe rules applied as your child reads, so recitation is correct, not just fluent.
- Hifz, if you chooseMemorising the Quran with sabaq, sabqi and manzil, with a hafiz or hafiza, for fluent readers.
Each stage has its own page: Noorani Qaida, Quran classes for kids, Quran with Tajweed and the online Hifz program. Not sure where your child starts? Try the Quran level test, or let the teacher find their level in the free trial.
Islamic studies, level by level
Islamic studies runs in four levels from about age 5, taken from the Islamic Studies Grade 1 to 4 books we teach from. Four-year-olds learn duas, the basics and stories, and older children go deeper.
| Level and age | Focus | Some of the topics |
|---|---|---|
| First stepsAge 4 | Duas, the basics and stories | Short everyday duas · the basics of Islam · stories told at their age |
| Level 1About 5 to 6 | Who Allah is, and good manners every day | Allah is One, the Creator, All-Hearing · Iman, the angels, the books and the messengers · Bismillah and the five pillars · The masjid, the adhan and wudu · The five daily prayers |
| Level 2About 6 to 7 | Prayer, honesty and the pillars | Allah the Creator, All-Knowing, All-Seeing · The angels, the books and the prophets · Cleanliness (istinjaa) and wudu · The five prayers, the adhan and the tashahhud · Truthfulness, and why lying and stealing are wrong |
| Level 3About 7 to 8 | Worship in more detail, and the prophets | The adhan and the iqamah · Salah, zakah, fasting and Hajj · Purity, clean water and how to do wudu properly · No lying, gossip or backbiting · Prophets Adam, Ibrahim, Isma’il and Ishaq |
| Level 4About 8 to 10 | Understanding salah and the Quran | Allah’s names Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem · Surah Al-Fatihah and why it is special · The conditions, pillars and sunnah acts of salah · Remembering Allah after salah · Ramadan, Eid ul Fitr, Hajj and Eid ul Adha |
| Older childrenAbout 11 to 14 | Belief, the seerah and their own questions | Aqeedah · the seerah from Makkah to Madinah · manners with family and friends · honest answers to hard questions |
Belief and the kalimas
Allah is One, the pillars of Iman and Islam, and the six kalimas from our own Kalimas book, each with its meaning.
Wudu and salah
The adhan and how to reply to it, wudu step by step, and salah step by step for boys and girls.
Duas and dhikr
Duas for waking, sleeping, eating and leaving home, the duas inside salah, and simple dhikr.
Hadith
Short hadith learned by heart, with what each one means for daily life, from our lists of 20 short hadith for kids and 60 golden hadith on manners and kindness.
The prophets and the seerah
Stories of the prophets from Adam to Isa, then the life of the Prophet ﷺ in two seerah books, from the Year of the Elephant to the Hijrah.
Manners and character
Honesty, kindness, respect for parents and neighbours, and the manners of eating, sleeping and greeting.
Quran, Islamic studies, or both
Your child can learn Quran and Islamic studies together in the same 30-minute class, or take just one subject. You choose, and the teacher shapes each lesson around your child.
You do not need to buy any books: the teacher shares the pages on screen in every class. Free books to read at home are on our books page. Online Islamic studies for homeschoolers in full: online Islamic school for kids.

Answer the two questions and we will suggest a course and how many classes a week.
What you can see
How do I track progress and keep records for our homeschool?
Every child is tested at the end of each month, and the monthly progress report is based on that test. The report shows the topics covered and what to practise at home.
A test every month

Who is in the lesson
Who teaches, and who else is in the class?
A teacher of your choice, male or female, checked before they teach. Our teachers are mostly based in Egypt, the UAE, India and Pakistan. We check every teacher’s ID and certificates before they teach, and a female supervisor joins every class.
- A female supervisor joins every lesson live and listens to the whole class
- Parents can sit in on any lesson without telling us first
- Every lesson is recorded; parents can watch their child’s recordings
- Teachers never message a child outside the lesson; every message goes through our team to you
- If a teacher is not the right fit, we change them; you do not have to explain why
- The fee is the same for a male or a female teacher
Every teacher has their ID and Quran and Tajweed certificates checked, an interview and a demo class our team watches, and training before a first student. Every Hifz teacher is a hafiz or hafiza: they have memorised the whole Quran themselves. The full rules are on our child safety page.

One monthly fee
What do Islamic homeschool Quran classes cost?
One monthly fee for one child, set by the number of lessons a week: from $30 a month. The fee is the same for every subject, so Islamic studies on its own or with Quran costs nothing extra. There is no registration fee, and the fee is the same for a male or female teacher.
| Where you live | 1 a week | 2 a week | 3 a week | 4 a week | 5 a week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA and most countries | $30 | $39 | $49 | $55 | $59 |

Choosing honestly
How is this different from a full-time online Islamic school or a weekend school?
A full-time school gives you grades and a timetable. We give you one-to-one lessons you can place anywhere in your week. Pick the one that matches what you need.
Online Quran Learnings (part-time, one-to-one)
- You keep your own homeschool plan and add Quran and Islamic studies to it
- One teacher and your child, 30 minutes, at any hour you choose
- One to five lessons a week, paid monthly
- A monthly test and report; no grades, transcripts or certificates
A full-time online Islamic school
- Usually covers every subject, not only Islamic studies
- Usually gives grades and a transcript
- A fixed timetable that the school sets
- Accreditation matters more here
If you want one school for every subject, with grades, choose a full-time school. If you already teach the other subjects and want live Quran and Islamic studies, one-to-one lessons fit better.
Online Quran Learnings (at home, one-to-one)
- Any day and any hour, weekdays included
- Your child has the teacher’s full attention for 30 minutes
- No travel; a female supervisor in every class and parents can watch
- Quran and Islamic studies in one class, or one subject
A weekend Islamic school
- Usually one fixed day and time a week
- Classmates and a community in person
- Usually a group class, so less time for each child
- You travel there and back
A weekend school gives your child friends and a community. One-to-one lessons give a daytime slot and the teacher’s full attention. You can use both.
