Dalby Christian College is an independent, co-educational, day and boarding school located in Dalby, Queensland, 218 kilometres inland from Brisbane. Catering to students from kindergarten to Year 12, the college has 289 students and 21 teaching staff.

Commencing in 1981, the college grew out of local community desire to have a Christian College for their children. The school came from humble beginnings in a secondhand hospital building. Since then the school has continued to expand by purchasing existing nearby buildings while also erecting new purpose built education facilities.
