Quran, Tajweed, Arabic and Islamic studies for children in Tower Hamlets and across East London. Small classes, qualified DBS-checked teachers. Two daily sessions.
Madrasah in Tower Hamlets — Islamic Education for Children
Tower Hamlets parents — from Whitechapel, Bow and Bethnal Green to Mile End and Poplar — reach us in minutes on the Elizabeth line, which runs straight from Whitechapel to Manor Park. They come for a madrasah that pairs serious Qur'an and Islamic studies with the warm, project-based teaching their children genuinely enjoy.
We welcome children from age 4 — from complete beginners to those already learning at home. Whether your child is in Reception or Year 6, we place them in the right group for their level.

Where learning comes alive
We don't believe in the old, static way of teaching. At Taalam, children learn through real projects, hands-on activities and their own creativity — so they stay engaged, remember more, and genuinely look forward to coming back.

Words from parents whose children learn with us onsite — Qur’an, tajweed and Islamic studies, in a place their kids look forward to.
“Ta’alam has provided exceptional services for both my children. They have been taught in a supportive and nurturing environment, with teachers doing their utmost to help every child reach their full potential.”
“The teachers at Ta’alam are amazing, mashaAllah. My kids really enjoy it and their tajweed has improved immensely since being there. I can’t praise the teachers enough for the effort they put into the children.”
“An amazing place for little ones to learn everything about our deen. My son has learnt so much since he started. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes their children to have excellent Islamic teaching and Qur’an.”
“My boys love learning at Ta’alam. They enjoy it so much that even when unwell in the morning they still want to go in the afternoon! The teachers really cater to each child’s individual needs.”
