History
The founders of Covenant Christian School wanted an education for their children which was explicitly Christian in perspective. A group of Christians began to discuss starting a Christian School in 1965 and in 1966 bought land at to establish a school. From 1970 to 1973 various development applications were refused by the local council. In 1975 the school applied to Council to start in a demountable building. In 1977 a decision was made to start in a church hall while continuing to look for a suitable location.

Classes started 29 May 1978 at St Paul's Anglican Church,, with one teacher and 19 children from Kindergarten to Year 5. In September 1978 the property at 212 Forest Way was purchased. In 1979 Primary education started in a Cottage at 212 Forest Way and Infants remained in St Paul's Church hall at Terrey Hills. In 1980 the K-7 school was operating at Forest Way. The first student sat for their Year 10 School Certificate in 1983. In 1986 the first student attempted the NSW Higher School Certificate.

An early learning centre was introduced in 2006, and by 2017 Covenant had grown to 900 students.

In 2021, the school was reported to have fired a teacher for not affirming the school's position against homosexuality, with the school releasing a statement about their right to take such an action.
