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.

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]
