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]
