Oprah Winfrey to close South African girls' school, expand scholarship
South Africa Oprah Winfrey will close the prestigious girls' school she founded in South Africa after the 2027 academic year, marking the end of nearly two decades of campus-based education.
Rather than running a single boarding school, Winfrey said her foundation will shift its focus to a nationwide scholarship programme, helping academically talented girls from disadvantaged communities attend leading schools across South Africa.
Students who have not graduated by the time it closes will receive full scholarships to complete their education at other schools.
