The school was established in 1962 as a Catholic white boys' school. The Roman Catholic Church purchased a farm situated at the foot of Roman Hill in Klein Windhoek, a low-density suburb. 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.[1]
When Namibia became independent from South Africa in 1990, the school became multicultural and was opened to girls from grades 1 to 12.[2]
In 2014, St. Paul's College was Namibia's second-best high school, behind St Boniface College, located in the Kavango East Region.[3]
