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.
Prep School - Where empowering transformations occur every day
In our Prep School, we carefully attend to each child’s individual talents and aspirations, building all students’ confidence, self-awareness, and capability while understanding that each child develops at a different rate emotionally, intellectually, physically and socially.
Upper School - Where young cosmopolitans shape consequential lives
Our interdisciplinary, inquiry-based curriculum inspires students to question perceived boundaries and surpass perceived limits. Through a wide range of Advanced Placement courses, students experience the rigors of university-level work and lay the foundation for post-secondary success. Competitive and inclusive athletics build courage, teamwork, and lifelong healthy habits. And inspiring performing and visual arts programmes foster creative problem-solving and confident self-presentation.
In all aspects of our programme, we cultivate a profoundly international mindset, ensuring students understand themselves and others within a complex global context. The centerpiece of this effort, Round Square, offers extensive opportunities to participate in international conferences, service projects, and student exchanges.
Our students graduate as intellectually astute, culturally adept, unfailingly empathetic young citizens, prepared not only for top universities, but for the significant lives they plan to lead. They are ready and eager to change the world for the better.
