About
Built on himmah.
Himmah Prep is built on the foundation of himmah (Arabic: همة) — ambition, resolve, and determination. The inner drive that distinguishes exceptional students from everyone else.
Founded in 2020 by Harvard and UPenn graduates.
We started Himmah because too many talented students were being prepared the wrong way: narrow emphasis on test scores, applications treated as checklists, advisors who never sat in the rooms they claimed to know. We wanted a program that reflected what top universities actually look for — academic depth, real character, strategic clarity, and leadership that sticks.
So we built one. Three pillars, end-to-end: Academic Excellence, Character Building, and Future Readiness. Every student gets all three, sequenced into a 12–24 month plan inside our private portal — no patchwork of tutors, no chaos in November.
Five years in, our students have been admitted to every Ivy League university, MIT, Stanford, and the UC system — Berkeley and UCLA included. The track record is real. The program is selective on purpose. We work with a small number of families each year so every student gets the attention they deserve.
