Oprah Winfrey Says She’s Ending Her South Africa Girls’ Academy to ‘Reach More Young Women’ with Scholarships
“The dream was never simply to build a school. It was to invest in the limitless potential of young women,” said Winfrey, whose academy will transition back to the community as she focuses on helping more young women
NEED TO KNOW
The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy of Girls in South Africa will be closing after 2027 and transitioning its operations back to local officials
Winfrey will instead focus on an "expanded" scholarship program for girls there
"Overall, there will be double the amount of girls who will have access to education through this model," a rep for Winfrey says
The South Africa school that Oprah Winfrey opened nearly two decades ago will be closing and transitioning its operations back to local officials while Winfrey focuses on an "expanded" scholarship program for girls there, she announced this week.
"The dream was never simply to build a school. It was to invest in the limitless potential of young women," Winfrey, 72, said in a statement on Wednesday, July 29, announcing that the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy of Girls will end operations in its current form at the end of 2027.
From there, the provincial government will take over and continue operating the facility as a school, a rep for Winfrey tells PEOPLE.
The academy will graduate two more classes of girls and the remaining students "will go to other top-tier schools with their tuition paid for in total by Ms. Winfrey through their graduation," the rep says.
In her statement, Winfrey said that her mission "doesn't end with one campus. It continues in every girl whose future can be transformed through education."
"I'm excited that this next chapter will allow us to reach even more young women across South Africa and continue the promise that began more than 20 years ago," she continued.

The scholarship program will begin after the academy's students have graduated, according to Winfrey's rep, who says that "overall, there will be double the amount of girls who will have access to education through this model."
"That is the core of the decision to shift to this new model after seeing the success of the students the past 20 years," the rep says.
More than 1,000 girls have graduated from Winfrey's academy since it opened in 2007.
