OWLAG opened in 2007 and its inaugural class of 72 girls graduated in 2011. Inspired by her own disadvantaged childhood, Winfrey stated that she founded the Leadership Academy to provide educational and leadership opportunities for academically gifted girls from impoverished backgrounds in South Africa who exhibited leadership qualities for making a difference in the world. She wanted to help girls who grew up like her, "economically disadvantaged, but not poor in mind or spirit". The school teaches the Independent Examinations Board (IEB) curriculum writes the South African National Senior Certificate. In May 2021, Lindiwe Tsope became the first graduate of the Academy to be awarded a PhD.
