SOLA Scholarship for Afghan Girls

About SOLA School

SOLA School is located in Rwanda, a central African nation. Its current campus (used until June 2026) is in an urban setting, but starting September 2026, the school will move to a newly built campus. Both campuses are gated residential and academic complexes, with separate housing for students and staff, as well as dedicated buildings for classes, dining, gatherings, library, and study spaces. SOLA’s new campus, under construction since February 2025, is located in a safe, rural area with 24/7 security.

Which Program SOLA School Offer?

SOLA offers math, science, English, Dari, Pashto, social studies, Islamic Studies, world history, geography, ICT, and art classes. Except for Dari, Pashto, and Islamic Studies, all subjects are taught in English. In July-August, SOLA also runs enrichment courses taught by international educators in areas like foreign languages, arts, sciences, creative writing, and outdoor education.
