Our founder

Abdullahi Muse

Himalaya Academy was founded by Abdullahi Muse to give students in Jowhar and the wider Middle Shabelle region a serious place to study science and technology close to home.

The name points to the highest mountains on earth: a reminder that every student here is expected to aim high, and that the climb is taken one step at a time.

How we work

Practical science

Concepts are tied to experiments, worked problems and real examples from farming, health and daily life in Hirshabelle.

Hands on keyboards

IT students spend class time at a computer, building documents, spreadsheets and simple programs themselves.

Registered properly

Every student is recorded with their Ministry of Education HEMIS ID, so records follow them through school and exams.

Open to all

Girls and boys, school leavers and working adults are all welcome in our classes.
