Himalayan International Academy (HIA), established in 2021, is an emerging educational institution located in Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan, with convenient access via the JR Sobu Line and the Keisei Line. One of the international school in Japan founded by the Nepalese community and promoting the Nepalese curriculum, HIA plays a pivotal role in promoting cross-cultural understanding and fostering educational exchange, catering to a diverse student body.

Currently, HIA offers a range of educational programs, including early childhood education for kindergarten-aged students and school education through Grade 8. The institution has outlined plans for future expansion, with the introduction of Grade 9 slated for April 2026.

The school seeks to deliver a high-quality education that prioritizes the holistic development of students. This includes fostering multilingual proficiency, enhancing cognitive skills, promoting values of mutual respect, and encouraging students to critically examine their roles in various contexts. The overarching objective is to serve expatriate communities from diverse backgrounds, while also promoting diversity among both faculty and students. In doing so, the institution aspires to create a global educational environment that prepares students for successful careers in an increasingly interconnected world.

Our Vision

Our motto, “Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya” (तमसोमा ज्योतिर्गमय), derived from ancient Vedic literature, translates to “From darkness, lead us to light.” This guiding principle reflects our belief that education serves as a transformative tool for societal progress, enabling individuals and communities to move toward enlightenment and improvement. We view education as a fundamental means of fostering growth, empowering individuals, and contributing to the overall betterment of society.
