History
Bayview Glen was founded in 1962 by L. Doreen (née Barwick) Hopkins as a nursery school and day camp housed in a barn in the Don River Valley located north of York University's Glendon College Campus on Bayview Avenue at Lawrence Avenue East near Crescent School. It was also where Crestwood School is currently located.
By 1964, Bayview Glen had expanded to include students from age two to Grade 1, and an adjoining property was acquired. By 1969, new buildings had been added and the school grew to include students through to Grade 6.
In 1980, Mrs. Hopkins died, and the L. Doreen Hopkins Foundation took control in overseeing the furtherance of the founder's dream. The barn was closed and a permanent facility was built in its place. There was still no room for an Upper School so space was leased from an engineering firm at 275 Duncan Mill Road. In 1985, four teachers, and a grade 7 and 8 class made the move into the renovated office space. Through the rest of the decade, one grade per year was added. In 1989, the valley property was sold and the Lower School moved to the Duncan Mill Campus.
In 1991, The Doreen Hopkins Foundation was taken over by the Macmarmon Foundation and Terry Guest was appointed Headmaster. Also in 1991, Bayview Glen had its first graduating class. In 1998, Bayview Glen acquired the Upper School Campus located on Moatfield Drive.
In September 2000, the Upper School was opened by HRH The Duke of York. The site was complete with a double gymnasium and theatre complex. In 2001, Terry Guest left Bayview Glen and took up the position of Executive Director of Round Square, of which the school is a member. He was succeeded by Stuart Grainger, who was Headmaster until 2003. He is currently the Headmaster of Trinity College School in Port Hope.
Eileen Daunt was appointed Head of School in 2003. In 2007, Bayview Glen celebrated its 45th birthday.
Bayview Glen celebrated its 50th anniversary during the 2011-12 academic year.
In 2012-2014, Bayview Glen underwent renovations and the construction of a brand new building that would bring the Prep School and Upper School together. In the Spring of 2014, the new Moatfield Campus was reopened by Prince Andrew, on his second visit to the school. The new campus holds a wide range of facilities, such as a double gym, an expanded dining hall, a theatre gallery, an alumni hall, new classrooms for specific areas of study, and lounge areas for students and faculty.
Athletics
Bayview Glen is home to sports events attended by multiple CISAA schools across Ontario. Students at Upper school have access to a workout facility, and a gymnasium complemented by a rock climbing wall. Also available is a field located in front of the Upper school building and an artificial turf field at the back of the school. School sports teams have won CISAA championships. In 2005, Paul Slovenski became the Director of Athletics.
In the 2012-2013 academic year, Bayview Glen sports teams won 16 CISAA Championships, surpassing the old record of 10 plaques achieved during the academic year just prior. Every age group from Under-11 to Under-20 was represented in the roster of championship teams.
