Covenant Christian School is a distinctly and explicitly Christian Prep to Year 12 co-educational day school with almost 900 students, located in Belrose on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Working in partnership with parents, our passionate and highly qualified teaching staff deliver the curriculum from the understanding that all of life must be centred on God and his plan to restore all things under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

With a focus on the nurture and discipleship of our students, Covenant seeks to meet the individual learning needs of each student and support their well-being and development from an academic, social, emotional and spiritual perspective.
