The Deutsche Höhere Privatschule (DHPS) is a private school in Namibia and a German International School Abroad.[1] Situated in the capital Windhoek,[2] The DHPS also offers boarding school facilities, a kindergarten[3] and pre-school and primary and secondary grades from grade 1 to 12. Various sporting facilities are part of the spacious campus in the centre of town, e.g. swimming pool, hostel, basketball courts, soccer fields, beach volleyball field and roller hockey rink. Scholars have the option of leaving with the internationally recognized Cambridge Certificate in grade 12, or doing the Deutsche Internationale Abiturprüfung (DIA, The German International Abitur), also in grade 12.[4] Both school leaving certificates exempt them for universities and tertiary institutions in Germany, Southern Africa and worldwide.
History
The school was established in 1909 under the name Kaiserliche Realschule (Imperial High School). Its name changed to Deutsche Höhere Privatschule (English: German Private Higher School) upon the abdication of the German emperor Wilhelm II.[5] The school celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009[6] with the hosting of many events during the year. DHPS is funded by the German Federal Government as well as by school fees.[7]
