History

In 1979, Pastor Dale Smith of Colleyville Presbyterian Church and other faithful 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 ourcollege preparatory standards in 1998.[1]
