Al Huda School is a private Islamic school in College Park, Maryland.[1] It first opened in September 1995 with elementary students in Kindergarten through second grade. In Fall 2007, the high school opened. Currently, it has grades K–12, with boys and girls in separate classes. As of 2018[update] it had over 700 students in all programs, with 460 students in its day school.[2]
In 2013 the school and its affiliated mosque planned a new campus in the former Woodmont Academy in Cooksville, Western Howard County. Several area residents objected to the redevelopment plan proposed to the county government on the grounds that it would interfere with the area's rural character.[3] In 2013, former James N. Robey aide Sang Oh representing Dar-us-Salaam, an Islamic organization that operates Al Huda, petitioned Howard County to rezone the Woodmont Property.[4] The zoning application was dropped, but plans to move the Dar-us-Salaam facility from College Park to Cooksville proceeded as a conditional use.[5]
The school has prayer hall that's open to public outside school hours. During school season they offer jumu'ah at an alternate nearby place.[6]
