General

Age range: All students must be between the ages of 7 to 17.

Start date: Sunday, October 5th, 2025
End date: Sunday, May 17th, 2026

Class times: Every Sunday, class will be held between 9:30am and 12:15pm. During daylight saving time, class will be held between 10:30am and 1:15pm. We will remind you of this scheduling change.

Since the Dhuhr Prayer (Öglen Namaz) is prayed at 12:15pm (1:15pm during daylight saving time), students may be picked up either before or, preferably, after the prayer is completed. Parents are encouraged to join us for prayer.

Note: Having prior knowledge of Arabic or the Qur’an is not a requirement for participation.

Communication

WhatsApp will be the primary method of communication between us and parents.

Parents will be added to a WhatsApp group after registration.

If class is cancelled or delayed on any day, we will send you a notice in advance via WhatsApp. We encourage all parents to check the WhatsApp group for updates regularly and especially on mornings before dropping students off at the mosque.

Seating arrangements

Boys and girls have separate classrooms.

Due to limited seating and instructor count, we will be unable to accept additional student registrations when the classroom fills up.

If interested, please register soon!

Food — Snacks & Lunch

Students are encouraged to bring their own snacks or lunch.

Ulu Cami may occasionally provide snacks or lunch (e.g. pizza) to students.
