One Quran Academy for Your Whole Family

Quran lessons for the whole family, without teaching everyone the same lesson

Families come to us in every shape: two children a few years apart; three siblings and a mother who wants to learn alongside them; a father who never learned and does not want his children to grow up the same way; grandparents, occasionally, learning with grandchildren. What they have in common is a wish to make Quran learning a household habit rather than one child's activity. The family plan exists for that, and this page explains how it works and why we do not simply put everyone in one lesson.

Why each learner has their own lesson

A seven-year-old on the Qaida, an eleven-year-old reading Juz Amma and a mother working on Tajweed are three different learners. Teaching them together would mean teaching none of them properly: the seven-year-old bored by Tajweed, the mother waiting through letter drills. So each learner has their own lesson, their own teacher plan and their own notes. What the family plan does is bring the lessons together in time and in billing.

One block of time

Lessons are usually scheduled back to back, often with the same teacher, so the household has one block: half past four to half past six, say, with each child taking their turn. For parents that means one routine to keep, not three, and for children it means seeing a sibling go before them, which is quietly motivating. Where a family prefers a female teacher for the girls and a male for the boys, or a different specialist for a Hifz learner, that can be arranged; the block still holds.

One account, one invoice

Every learner sits under one family account. Lesson notes for every child arrive in one place, the monthly summary covers the whole family, and there is one invoice. Adding a learner later, when a younger child is ready or a parent decides to join, is a message to the coordinator rather than a new sign-up.

Parents learning alongside children

A parent who takes a lesson in the slot before or after a child's does two things at once: makes their own progress, and shows the child that this is something adults do too. Many mothers work with the same female teacher as their daughters. Fathers who never learned as boys often start with the Qaida in the evening slot after the children's lessons. Nobody is ever in the same lesson, so nobody's pace is held back or exposed.

Siblings at different levels

It is common for a younger sibling to overtake an older one, or for two children to need very different rhythms: one thriving on four short lessons a week, the other better with two longer ones. Because each learner has their own plan, both can be right at once. The monthly summary shows each child's position on our seven-level framework, so parents can see each child's progress on its own terms rather than in comparison.

Sibling discounts and pricing

The family plan combines learners under one account and invoice. Pricing for additional learners is confirmed in writing when you book, and where a price is not yet published on the pricing page we send it before you commit to anything. Every learner still gets their own free trial lesson first, with no payment details required.

Keeping a family routine going

Routines break at holidays, illnesses and exam seasons, and a family with several learners has several of each. Lessons can be moved with twenty-four hours' notice, one child's lessons can be paused while the others continue, and the rhythm can change term by term without anyone losing their teacher. The teacher's notes keep track, so a child who paused for a month picks up from where they left off rather than from a guess.

Where families are

Lessons are shown in your own time zone, whether you are in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia or elsewhere. Families spread across time zones, with grandparents abroad for instance, can each have lessons at their own local times on the same account.

How to start

Book a free trial for the first learner and mention the others; the coordinator will plan the block with you. Or start with one child, see how it goes, and add the rest later. Either way, nothing is paid until you have met the teacher.

What a family week can look like

A typical arrangement for a family with two children and a mother who is learning: the seven-year-old has a twenty-five-minute Qaida lesson at half past four, Monday to Thursday; the eleven-year-old follows at five with a thirty-minute reading lesson; and the mother takes a forty-five-minute Tajweed lesson at nine on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with the same female teacher who teaches her daughter. One account, one invoice, three plans, three sets of notes. On Saturday morning both children have a shorter revision lesson. None of this is fixed; it is simply what one family chose, and the coordinator plans yours with you.

Managing the family routine

The notes after each lesson tell you which child needs to practise what, in a sentence, so that five minutes with each child before the next lesson is enough. The monthly summary covers everyone in one page. When one child has exams, that child’s plan drops to revision only for a few weeks while the others continue. When the family travels, everyone pauses and everyone returns to the same teacher. The routine survives because it is written down and because the teacher, not the parent, is keeping track of where each child is.

Grandparents, cousins and extended families

A family account is not limited to one household. Grandparents learning in their own time zone, a cousin who lives elsewhere, a nephew whose parents are not yet ready to start: all can sit on the same account with their own plans and lesson times. Families spread between the UK, the USA, Canada and elsewhere use this to keep one point of contact for everyone’s lessons.
