Faith, discipline, and compassion — the pillars of St Paul's
Preparing Namibian students for a global world since 1962
Founded in 1962, St Paul's College is internationally recognised for its academic excellence. Situated on the slopes of Roman Hill in the Klein Windhoek valley, the College is an unpretentious Christian school offering the best of a Catholic school of the modern era.
Conceived by the Tilburg Fathers and rooted in Namibia's struggle for independence, St Paul's College is deeply committed to providing an all-round, international, relevant education for boys and girls from Grade R to Grade 13.
We aim to send young men and women into the world equipped — not merely with a certificate, but with a faith that is real, discipline that is personal, and compassion which translates into service.
Rooted in Catholic tradition, embracing all Christian paths
Deeply connected to our country's history and future

Central to our School is the Christian faith introduced by the Catholic Fathers — it permeates all our thinking and programmes. We have strong links to the Catholic Church, while embracing wider Christian spiritual paths.
Our School is rooted in Namibia's struggle for freedom, and our children imbibe the rich spiritual and social history of this country. It is not enough to leave school only with a certificate — but with a faith that is real, discipline that is personal, and compassion which translates into service.
Real and personal — the foundation of everything we do
Personal and principled — shaping character for life
Translates into service — for Namibia and the world
At a time when tarred roads did not extend to Jan Jonker Road, the City of Windhoek gave the Cathedral parish twelve hectares to establish a school. From those humble beginnings, St Paul's has grown into one of Namibia's most respected institutions.

Our St Paul's College chapel — the Church of the Holy Ghost — was built in 1957 as a semi-parish church for the German-speaking Catholic community. The fresco behind the altar depicts the descent of the Holy Spirit.
