History

In 1979, Pastor Dale Smith of Colleyville Presbyterian Church and other congregation members had a strong desire to start a school in Colleyville that would teach students from a Christian worldview. The vision became a reality in 1980 when six kindergarten students started class with their teacher, Helen Shepherd. The following year, in 1981, classes for pre-kindergarten, first and second grades were added. Each year a grade level was added until 1992 when the first graduates of Covenant received their diplomas. The classical approach to teaching was added to the college preparatory standards in 1998. The school was accredited by the Association of Classical and Christian Schools in 2016.
