Covenant Christian Academy of Colleyville, Texas, is a private Christian school that was founded in 1979. It is an accredited ACCS school and a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools. Covenant Christian Academy is a non-denominational, classical, college preparatory Christian school serving students age 3 through grade 12. Pre-AP, AP, and Dual-Credit available.
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.[1]
The school was accredited by the Association of Classical and Christian Schools in 2016.[2]
The athletic program has achieved 31 State Champion titles since 2005. As a TAPPS 4A school, they offer baseball, basketball, cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, track & field, and volleyball.
The fine arts department has enjoyed Betty Buckley awards, ACSI Gold Medals for speech, TAPPS art awards, and TPSMEA All-State Choir and Orchestra Members. Art, choir, strings, theatre, worship ensemble, video production, and yearbook are all offered as a part of their fine arts program.
