Our teachers work to US hours, so a Texas school afternoon is a normal teaching hour. Many Texas districts start in August, so families often arrange lessons before the school year begins. Hours are confirmed at the free trial.

| Weekdays 4:00 to 8:00 pm | After school and activities, the core window |
| Weekdays 6:30 to 7:30 am | Before school, subject to teacher availability |

Are there online Quran classes in Houston?
Yes. Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands and the surrounding suburbs share Central time and book the same way. Families there choose between after-school lessons on weekdays and Saturday morning, and nobody drives across the metro to attend. See our page on Quran classes for Houston families.
Are there online Quran classes in Dallas and Fort Worth?
Yes. Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, Frisco and the other suburbs of the metroplex are on Central time. Lessons happen at home on video, so nobody drives between suburbs to attend, and weekday evening slots suit adults as well as children. See our page on Quran classes for Dallas families.
Are there online Quran classes in Austin and San Antonio?
Yes, in the same way. Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, San Antonio and nearby towns are all on Central time. Murouj Academy has no office or teacher in these cities: a teacher is matched to your child for a free trial class on video, and the child continues with that teacher once the fit is right.
