The German International School Pretoria was founded near the start of the war  by German immigrants, who joined the Boers as volunteers fighting against the British Empire. When the war ended in 1902 with the Treaty of Vereeniging and the province of Transvaal became a British colony, the school became a sanctuary for preserving German language, culture, and identity in an increasingly English-dominated society.
