St. Paul's College was established in 1962 as a Catholic all boys’ school by the Tilburg Fraters. The Roman Catholic Church purchased a farm situated at the foot of Roman Hill in Klein Windhoek, a low density suburb in Windhoek, Namibia. Due to the presence of hot springs and fountains at the time, it was possible to develop a vineyard, gardens and orchards where the school is currently located.
When Namibia was shifting from the apartheid regime to a democratic government, St. Paul’s was an upholder of democratic and open-minded principles which mirror its multi-cultural hamlet. The school now offers an education for both boys and girls from grades 1 to 12)[1]
This year, 2012, St. Paul's College is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The celebration runs throughout the entire year, although a function to commemorate the launch took place from the 2nd of March to the 7th of March and previous students and teachers of the college were invited.[2]
