Oprah Winfrey is shutting down her iconic South African girls’ school at the end of next year, but her mission to empower young women through education isn’t ending—it’s expanding. After 20 years of transforming lives on the 52-acre campus, now under provincial government control, over 500 graduates have gone on to universities worldwide. Students currently enrolled will finish with full support, while Oprah’s foundation pivots to a national scholarship program reaching bright students across South Africa. The school’s early challenges—including a high-profile abuse allegation—were met with Oprah’s personal intervention and public apology, ultimately leading to accountability and reform. What began as a single campus is now evolving into a broader, nationwide movement for educational equity and opportunity.
