How can my child balance school and Quran classes?

Last updated 25 September 2026 · Rahber Institute teaching team

Short answer

Most UK children balance school and Quran classes best with short 30-minute online lessons at a fixed time after school, 2 or 5 days a week. Keep weekends light, agree a lighter plan during exams, and avoid lessons straight after long clubs or late evenings.

Sample weekday timetable (UK)
TimeActivity
3:30–4:30pmHome, snack, rest
4:30–5:00pmOnline Quran lesson
5:00–6:00pmSchoolwork
After Maghrib5–10 minutes revision

Choosing 2 or 5 days a week

  • 2 days (£40/month): steady progress alongside busy schedules
  • 5 days (£60/month): faster progress and best for Hifz
