Bayview Glen School (also known as Bayview Glen or BVG) is a private school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada established in 1962. Bayview Glen is a co-educational, multicultural, non-denominational, university preparatory day school. The school is located in North York on Duncan Mill Road near the intersection of Don Mills Road and York Mills Road.
Bayview Glen is a school from age 2 to Grade 12. The school is divided into two campuses. The preschool (age 2 to Junior Kindergarten) and lower school (Senior Kindergarten to Grade 5) are on the campus located on Duncan Mill Road. Across the street from there is the Moatfield Drive campus, which houses the Prep School (Grades 6 to 8) and the Upper School (Grades 9 to 12). Bayview Glen is a member of Round Square and CISAA.
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.
