Beulah College is a coeducational Christian secondary school in Tongatapu, Tonga, established in 1938. It was formally opened by Sālote Tupou III in February 1939.[2] The SDA Annual Statistics first report on Beulah College in 1941. It lists 109 students and five teachers for only grades 1–8. Four students graduated.[3] The 2009 report lists 202 students, 97 of which were Seventh-day Adventists. The school provided a complete secondary school education. There were 16 graduates.[4]

In October 2015 boarders at the school were sent home after a girl in the village was diagnosed with typhoid.[5][6]
