We asked a simple question: “Why can’t Somali youth have it all?”
For too long, parents in Mogadishu have faced a difficult choice. You either choose a school with strong religious and cultural values but limited academic resources, or you choose an international school that prepares students for the world but disconnects them from their roots.
Every Somali child deserves an education that honors their complete identity. We are building a school where academic rigor, Islamic principles, and cultural pride unite to shape ethical global leaders.
