A city where Arabic is spoken at home
In the 2020 Census, 54.5% of Dearborn's 109,976 residents reported Middle Eastern or North African ancestry, making it the first Arab-majority city in the United States. Lebanese, Yemeni and Iraqi are the largest groups (ClickOnDetroit; US Census Bureau). That is an ancestry figure, not a count of Muslims.
Next door, Hamtramck elected the first all-Muslim city government in the United States in 2021 (CNN, via KVIA). And area school calendars recognise Eid: Detroit Public Schools Community District voted in 2019 to close for Eid al-Fitr, and Dearborn and Hamtramck already did (Chalkbeat Detroit).
Many parents in Dearborn speak Arabic at home, and our teachers can talk with them in Arabic as well as in English. That helps most when a parent wants to follow the progress, or when a child switches between Arabic at home and English at school. In class they teach Quranic recitation and Modern Standard Arabic.
Which age groups and courses suit Dearborn students?
- Early kids, 5 to 8: letters and the Qaida, with a teacher who can use Arabic with the child if the family wishes.
- Kids, 9 to 12: fluent reading and tajweed, plus a part-time hifz plan after school.
- Teens, 13 to 17: memorisation and recitation correction; Islamic studies for younger teens who want the basics of worship and manners.
- Adults, 18 and over: tajweed and recitation for adults across metro Detroit; see Quran classes for adults.
Girls and women
Girls and women are always taught by female teachers. Murouj Academy follows the Islamic privacy rule, so when a female teacher teaches a female student, no non-mahram man can see her. See privacy and Islamic etiquette and the female Quran teachers.
