December 9, 1866.
Today, another school was established in Heixinggen, the Heixinggen Cultural School. This school is actually an elementary school and differs from the Heixinggen Military Academy by enrolling local students in addition to Chinese students.
After all, attending the Heixinggen Military Academy means eventually heading to East Africa, and which German parents would rush to send their children to Africa.
Therefore, apart from Chinese students, most German cadets at Heixinggen Military Academy are orphans from various parts of Germany.
The Heixinggen Cultural School is different; it is a formal school, whereas the Heixinggen Military Academy is actually a diploma mill.
The Heixinggen Military Academy is not included in Prussia's educational system, its students are entirely recruited through the academy's own admission process, and their post-graduate destinations are clearly defined.
