Our School

We are Toronto’s academically invigorating, internationally connected, coeducational Preschool-through-Grade-12 independent school. Thriving on two closely connected campuses, our carefully calibrated programme welcomes the youngest preschoolers and guides them, step-by-step, to become intelligent, compassionate, proactive young adults.

Our close-knit and vibrantly diverse community, inspired by expert teachers and fueled by a forward-looking curriculum, shapes independent thinkers and energetic citizens. Through our abiding belief in the combined power of intellect, kindness, and wonder, our students see themselves in personal as well as global contexts—fostering genuine creativity, purposeful action, and enduring friendship.

Bayview Glen students graduate as caring, perceptive, engaged cosmopolitans, fully prepared for top universities at home and abroad. Equally important, they step forth with the intellectual and personal fortitude to embrace—and enhance—a world of accelerating change.

Excellence in Teaching and Learning

At Bayview Glen, we are committed to teaching the whole child, enabling each and every one of our students to become a confident, creative, and contributing member of our global society.    

Excellence in teaching and learning demands that we nurture the relationships, craft the experiences, and provide the supports that empower our students to:  

*Attain mastery of essential skills and command of fundamental knowledge;  

*Think critically about the world around them;  

*Develop empathy and respect for diversity of identity and viewpoint;  

*Inquire into and propose thoughtful, innovative, and ethical solutions for real-world problems;   

*Communicate effectively with others, both locally and globally; and  

*Excel in their chosen fields of endeavour.  

Bayview Glen teachers are experts in their disciplines, the art of teaching, and the use of technology to enhance learning. Bayview Glen students learn in a safe and supportive atmosphere that provides space for the free and respectful exchange of viewpoints, thoughtful risk-taking, and the opportunity to learn from failure.  

Preschool - Where our youngest students cultivate wonder

We believe children’s earliest years are among the most crucial—and delightful—of their educational journey. It’s a time of astonishing growth, when children’s inherent curiosity, insight, and empathy spark constant discoveries about themselves and the world.

At Bayview Glen, we celebrate and cultivate children’s natural love of learning, helping them uncover not only what and how they can learn, but the particular ways each child learns best. Our inquiry-based curriculum inspires children to ask big questions—How do we show feelings? How do insects help nature? Why are numbers, shapes, and colours important? What do I believe?—and pursue creative, meaningful answers. Through hands-on collaborative and individual projects, opportunities to perform for peers and family members, close attention to physical and personal well-being, and a deep commitment to the importance of play, we nurture abiding intelligence, self-awareness, and respect for others.

Lower School - Where students stretch themselves and reach for more

In the Senior Kindergarten through Grade 5 years, children expand the boundaries of their world and seek new ways to explore it. Our programme combines an accelerated curriculum with individual attention, so your child feels both inspired and safe to stretch beyond previous limits.
