[aaRwvZGZOW1] Health Updated on August 06, 2026 EDT — Published on August 06, 2026 EDT Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa will officially close its boarding school operations after the 2027 academic year—but this isn't the end of her mission. Instead of operating one boarding school, Oprah is transitioning to a scholarship program that is expected to help even more young women receive a fully funded education. Since opening in 2007, the academy has graduated more than 1,000 students, and a 2024 independent study found that 99% of graduates went on to higher education. Do you think expanding scholarships will have a bigger impact than keeping one elite boarding school open?
