InshaAllah the first day of class will be on September 6, 2025. This is subject to change so please check the calendar on the website.

We cannot guarantee but InshaAllah we will make all efforts. As parents and individuals there must be effort made outside of the classroom as well. We ask that you make intention and dua as well.

All classes will be held at the Muslim Center of Greater Princeton. The specific room or location within the center will be provided.

All classes are supervised under the guidance of Sh. Ismael Essa. He has been teaching Qur'an for over 20+ years and has various degrees and certifications. We also have highly qualified teachers: Sh. Abeer Mohammed, Sister Amira Abdelrazik, Ustadh Hamzah Hussain, Ustadh Mashhud Hussain, Ustadh Abdelrahman Abdelsalam and Ustadh Amaan Gadatia. Please check our website for their bios and the course catalog to see what sessions they will be teaching.

Students should bring a copy of the mushaf they are comfortable reading from. We ask the student to come early, have wudu, wear proper clothing and come excited to learn the book of Allah.

The registration fee is non-refundable so once you have registered this fee will not be refunded. We do not offer refunds but under special circumstance they are evaluated on a case-by-case basis so you must send an e-mail to tarteel@themuslimcenter.org with details. If you leave during the year, you are responsible for previous months payments. Each case will be reviewed by the MCGP Board and Director of Tarteel Academy.

We encourage you to register for a session which meets your schedule, and you are able to commit for the entire year. We understand circumstances may change and will try and accommodate but with limited capacity it will be difficult. If an individual has more than 3 un-excused absences, we will send a warning letter to them/their parents. One more un-excused absence after the warning and the student will be withdrawn from the school with no refund. We have a long waitlist and need to accommodate students who will be making a commitment to attend.
