The present high school buildings stand on the highest point of the campus. The school facilities include an assembly hall and a gym hall, a library and a computer room and well-equipped classrooms and science labs, as well as exceptional sporting facilities.

Born on the turbulent Eastern Cape Frontier, Dale College and its precursor has shared more than 150 years of South African history, ranging from bitter conflict to its own transformation into the multi-cultural college of today.

Dale College has always been associated with sporting excellence. Current sport codes include Cricket, Athletics, Tennis, Soccer, Hockey, Rugby, Squash and Cross Country. The school has produced a significant number of sportsman to wear national colours, the latest of which is Scarra Ntabeni.

Dale College prides itself on a representative staff, actively engaging in the rediscovery of quality schooling in the Eastern Cape. The school is led by Mr Garth Shaw and Mr Viwo Nzima, a new Principal and an experienced educator who is engrained in the Dale College context.
