Eaton College is a co-educational, special purpose educational facility for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Established to meet the needs of children with ASD in the Townsville region, Eaton College was created in response to a community desire for dedicated support, as there were no specific ASD schools in the area.

Eaton College opened its doors on 10 July 2023 with an inaugural enrolment of 15 students across Prep to Year 4. Stage 1 of the College has the capacity to cater for up to 40 students, allowing for small class sizes that support personalised learning and foster strong teacher–student relationships.

Today, Eaton College educates students from Prep to Year 6, with plans to extend into Secondary education from 2027. Over time, the College will continue to grow through the addition of Stage 2 and Stage 3, each accommodating up to 40 students. Once fully developed, Eaton College will have a maximum capacity of 120 students, with this growth anticipated to occur over a 10-year period.
