Who We Are
River Nile School is an independent Senior Secondary College dedicated to empowering young women of refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds through education.
But we’re more than just a school—we’re a transformative community empowering young refugee and asylum seeker women to thrive.
Through tailored education, English language development, and holistic support, we remove barriers to learning and open doors to independence, confidence, and opportunity.
We believe every young woman has a story worth telling and the potential to lead a life of financial freedom, self-advocacy, and purpose. Our classrooms are vibrant spaces where education meets empowerment, creativity sparks growth, and voices are not just heard but celebrated.
River Nile is where resilience meets opportunity, and where young women from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds gain the tools to navigate complex worlds and build bright, boundless futures.
