Junior Secondary Section of DHPS |
The Junior Secondary Section consists of the Grades 7-9, where German is the medium of instruction. The class size is limited to not more than 26 pupils. Pupils whose mother tongue is not German are taught in the English Medium Branch (EMB). Some subjects are taught in courses in order to integrate pupils of the EMB and Junior Secondary Section.
Subjects taught:
- German (Grade 7-9)
- English (Grade 7-9)

Art and music are offered for 6 months each in Grade 7 and 8. In Grade 9 pupils chose one subject from art, music or computer studies.
Supplemented by customary Namibian topics the syllabi of Baden-Württemberg/Germany are applied. A wide variety of optional extra murals supplements the compulsory lessons. The recently introduced program “study skills” fosters the independence of our pupils. In Grade 8 students take part in a 4 day outing, and in Grade 9 a job shadowing program (one week) is compulsory.
At the end of Grade 9 pupils have to choose between two options to finish their high school carrer:
- the internationally recognized DIAP (German International Abitur, Grade 10-12) or
- the regional recognized NSSC (Namibia Senior Secondary Certificate, Grade 10-12)
