Refugee Girls' School Doubles Capacity After 16 Years of Success
A middle school for refugee girls is set to double in size after 16 years of helping students adjust to life in the US. The Global Village Project Middle School, founded by volunteers, will expand its campus to support 100 pupils—twice its current number. The move aims to give more girls the chance to catch up on education and settle into their new communities. The school's growth follows years of success with its intensive three-year programme. Students focus on core subjects like English, math, science, and social studies. Results speak for themselves: 79% of its refugee students graduate high school, a rate higher than local averages.
The expansion will add two new buildings, each with six classrooms. Construction is underway, with the new campus expected to open by August 2023. The project carries an £8 million price tag, covered by private donations, foundations, and a fundraising campaign. Yet administrators still need between $500,000 and $800,000 to finish the work. Despite the funding gap, the school remains a national example for educating refugee children. Its model has drawn attention for addressing the unique challenges these students face.
Once complete, the larger campus will offer more refugee girls a dedicated learning space. The school's track record suggests many will go on to graduate high school and beyond. For now, organisers continue raising the final funds needed to finish the project on time.
