“Everyone we met in the Bayview Glen community emphasized that it’s a place where all types of students can find a sense of belonging.”
“Student well-being–academic, social, and emotional–is paramount at Bayview Glen. There are always multiple pairs of eyes on every student, ensuring they’re doing all right and getting them the support they need if they aren’t.”
“Bayview Glen is undoubtedly a school that nurtures and values high academic achievement, yet students can always access extra help, whether on an ongoing or time-limited basis.”

information not available
It's a big world out there, with lots of big ideas in it, and Bayview Glen prides itself on offering students an introduction to all its breadth and complexity. The school is part of the Round Square network of schools, which reflects that ambition; the program includes cross-curricular links to concepts of community, self-reliance, and entrepreneurialism. For some students, it can be a lot, perhaps especially for those within the younger grades—the school admits students from preschool through to grade 12. A broad range of curricular and co-curricular activities back up the school's promise to deliver the world: Mandarin classes, a model United Nations program, as well as a range of arts and athletics. While learner support is provided, the ideal student is one who is able to thrive in an intellectually diverse, academically challenging environment.
View full reportSince it was founded in 1995, CMS has grown to include five locations in the GTA. The program is founded on the core ideals that Maria Montessori promoted in her work, those of respect, community, purposeful engagement, and self-directed learning. That said, Montessori didn't create her program as a museum piece, but rather as a starting point, and that's a spirit that CMS upholds as well. Dr. Montessori, as has been said, "adjusted and adapted her educational system to better serve children's needs, and well-functioning Montessori classrooms typically share many features reflecting those adjustments." One of which was, of course, a willingness to adjust and adapt. As such, the CMS program includes, as at the Maplehurst location, a computer lab, a library, and a music room. In all, the focus is very clearly on the child, and supporting child development, which is just as it should be.

"Bayview Glen is an accredited, co-educational independent day school serving students from Toddler (age 2) through Grade 12. Founded in 1962, the school is guided by the mission “Whole Child. Purposeful Life. Better World," and is grounded in the core values of compassion, curiosity, and courage. Across two closely connected campuses in North York, Bayview Glen offers one continuous and thoughtfully designed educational journey. Our diverse community is shaped by expert educators, strong relationships, and a forward-thinking curriculum that encourages students to ask meaningful questions, take intellectual risks, and act with empathy and integrity. We nurture curiosity through engaging learning experiences, cultivate compassion through connection and service, and build courage by supporting students as they challenge themselves and grow with confidence. Bayview Glen graduates are well prepared for top universities and equipped with the adaptability, ethical grounding, and perspective needed to thrive and lead in a rapidly changing world."
"For over 25 years, CMS has focused on engaging students and building strong foundations during the most formative years of their lives. We provide quality Montessori education at every stage of a child's development. Our renowned Toddler & Casa programs nurture and encourage the inquisitive minds of children to build the foundational skills needed for future success. As children move through our Casa Program, the emphasis gradually shifts from basic motor skills and language to the development of concentration, coordination, independence, and a sense of order. This allows the child to consolidate their writing, reading, and math skills. Our Elementary, which includes middle school, program offers an enriched curriculum that promotes analytical and collaborative thinking while nurturing individual strengths. We exceed the Ministry of Education curriculum by introducing hands-on material, facilitating a deep understanding of all learning. Physical education, French, music, art, computers, STEM, and a variety of extracurricular activities enrich the learning experience for CMS students. We are a CCMA-accredited school highlighted for teaching excellence and offering quality Montessori education."
"Bayview Glen distinguishes itself through a long‑view educational continuum, a global perspective, and an intentional focus on experiential learning. As members of Round Square, we embed our values of leadership, service, democracy, environmental stewardship, and internationalism into daily school life. This reflects our belief that students learn best when values are experienced, not just taught.
Academic enrichment is supported through Advanced Placement, allowing students to explore subjects in greater depth while maintaining balance across a broad and engaging school experience. Learning beyond the classroom is a core element of a Bayview Glen education and includes international travel opportunities, outdoor education, philanthropy initiatives, and real‑world problem‑solving opportunities. Together, these experiences reflect our commitment to developing independent thinkers and compassionate leaders prepared to navigate complexity and change."
"Our school is truly a caring school. Staff are loyal to the organization and stay for more than 10 years using their expertise and love of all things Montessori to guide the children's learning. The level of creativity is also an additional richness with weekly themed lessons and assemblies and an awareness of so many topics and ideas that young people should come to know such as World Children's day, Indigenous month and an understanding of of many diverse religious festivals."

"Student safety and comfort is our top priority. Students must feel comfortable at school and being in their classroom, only then will they be truly ready to learn.
We also promote students to advocate for themselves, it is important that let administration and teachers know if they are not happy with something, or have a suggestion for things to change. Implementing their ideas is also extremely important, so that they feel part of their own educational community.
Field trips and experiences outside of the school are crucial. There is lots of hands on learning that goes on in school, however outside of school it is a different impact, and creates core memories."
"Several key moments have shaped Bayview Glen into the relationship-driven, future-focused school it is today. Founded in 1962 by Lois Doreen Hopkins as a nursery school and day camp, it was built on the belief that children learn best when they are deeply known, nurtured, and supported as individuals. This philosophy continues to guide its commitment to whole-child development.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Bayview Glen expanded into a full elementary and secondary program, graduating its first class in 1991 and establishing a complete academic pathway while maintaining a close-knit community. The opening of the Upper School campus in 2000 strengthened its university-preparatory focus and global outlook. Today, a transformational new build—featuring C-STEM and innovation spaces, an aquatics facility, and flexible learning environments—reflects its continued investment in innovation, wellbeing, and community."
"The school was opened 30 years ago, and has had a strong tight knit community that has continuously grown. We have recently added Grades 7 & 8 at our Maplehurst campus."
"Bayview Glen is well suited to students who benefit from a thoughtful balance of structure and personal attention and who are motivated to engage fully in academics while also exploring the arts, athletics, and leadership opportunities available to them. Students who thrive in a diverse, co‑educational environment where relationships and a strong sense of community are central to the learning experience often find Bayview Glen a strong fit.
While many families value the continuity of progressing through the school over time, Bayview Glen also welcomes students at various entry points. The School is intentional about ensuring that new students are known, supported, and quickly integrated into the life of the community. As a result, Bayview Glen appeals both to families seeking long term consistency and to those joining later who are looking for a connected, values aligned environment in which their child can thrive."
"The type of student who would fit in our school would be someone who is;
respectful
accepting
has empathy
is kind
willing to learn
open to new ideas
flexible
independent
willing to take on challenges
determined"
"Bayview Glen is intentionally designed for families who value a co-educational environment where children are known well, supported closely, and cared for as whole individuals. Our approach places strong emphasis on wellbeing, relationships, and connection, with educators and staff actively involved in students’ academic, social, and emotional development.
The school experience is personal, relational, and thoughtfully guided rather than distant or impersonal. Families who are seeking a hands off or highly anonymous educational model may find this approach does not align with their expectations or educational priorities."
"If a student requires a lot of structure, and more of rote learning, then this is not the environment for them. Our classrooms provide lots of choice and students are working on different subject areas. The teacher acts as a facilitator rather than instructor."
"Community sits at the heart of the Bayview Glen experience, and is one of the primary reasons families choose the School. Parents are drawn to an environment where their children are academically challenged while also being genuinely known and supported within caring and connected community.
Families frequently highlight close relationships with educators, individualized attention, and a balanced approach that integrates academics, wellbeing, and co‑curricular opportunities into daily life. Alumni often echo these sentiments, reflecting on how the supportive community shaped their confidence, character, and sense of purpose. Many credit Bayview Glen with preparing them not only for the academic demands of post-secondary studies but also for life beyond it."
"Our families and our graduates report the importance of having learned independence and creativity after their time at CMS. They speak volumes at the annual alumni panel about the compassionate teachers who empowered them to succeed no matter what they were facing, more so during the pandemic when lessons continued uninterrupted for the entire day and even additional lessons of health and gym and art complemented their learning at home. We are a community of individuals who nurture children."
"Bayview Glen is widely viewed as a well-established and values driven independent school that combines strong academic preparation with a deep commitment to the whole child. The School is associated with balance, offering rigorous pathways to post-secondary studies alongside meaningful opportunities in the arts, athletics, leadership, and experiential learning.
Our Toddler (age 2) through Grade 12 continuum is seen as a source of stability and continuity, while our diverse, co-educational environment reflects a culture that is inclusive and grounded in real world preparation. Publicly, Bayview Glen is recognized not only for consistently strong post-secondary outcomes, but also for the way students are supported, and grow with confidence, character, and purpose."
"Parents often think of CMS as a family. We work hard on building relationships with families and staff, building these strong bonds and helped with Alumni events, and graduate students often come back to visit or complete their volunteer hours at the school. It is wonderful how everyone keeps in touch and how we all work collectively for a great educational experience for our students."
"An underappreciated strength of Bayview Glen is the depth of continuity within the school community. As a Toddler (age 2) through Grade 12 school, many students begin in the early years and graduate as lifers having spent more than a decade within one consistent learning culture, shaped by shared values, common language, and enduring relationships.
This continuity is further strengthened by remarkable faculty and staff retention, with many educators having taught at Bayview Glen for ten plus years. The presence of long-tenured teachers provides stability, institutional knowledge, and deep understanding of students’ developmental journeys, contributing to a learning environment that is both grounded and responsive."
"You get more bang for your buck at CMS. An intimate setting where you have highly qualified professionals who go out of their way to enrich the lives of children. The quality of the hot lunches, the size of the classrooms and their versatility of use, the integretaed STEM lessons, the diversity of the students and strong mentoring and wellbeing program are all aspects of the CMS experience parents appreciate after they have attended our school for a short while."
"Families are often surprised by how intentionally Bayview Glen’s founding philosophy continues to shape the School today. Established in 1962 with the belief that every child is precious, Bayview Glen remains deeply committed to nurturing strong relationships and knowing students as individuals.
Despite its size and scope, educators are highly accessible and deeply engaged in each child’s growth. Learning experiences are thoughtfully crafted, supports are carefully aligned to students’ needs, and students are encouraged to grow with confidence, curiosity, and a strong sense of responsibility to others."
"Parents have answered the question in this way:
We have loved the multiage classrooms where older students truly mentor the younger ones
We have loved the French Immersion experience from Casa to lower and then upper elementary
Our two boys attended CMS and are very successful and stand out at their current school for their ability to be independent and think outside the box.
CMS is a family, everyone cares about the wellbeing of the children first and foremost and the academics complement this."
"In recent years, Bayview Glen has made significant investments to enhance both its campus and the student experience. Most notably, the School is completing a transformational New Build, scheduled to open in June 2026.This development reflects our ongoing commitment to wellbeing, innovation, and connection.
This addition includes a C‑STEM and Innovation Lab, an indoor aquatics facility featuring a 5-lane pool, a new gymnasium, outdoor discovery learning areas, a dedicated Health Centre, and flexible environments that support learning, movement, and collaboration. Together with continued programme enhancements, these improvements nurture the while child and allow Bayview Glen to better serve students today while preparing them for an ever-changing world."
"At our Maplehurst Campus we have now added Middle School, with the campus going up to Grade 8. This was largely in part from parents wanting to continue on at CMS. We are very excited to be growing our school and look forward to the upcoming years to see how our Middle School will flourish!"
"Over the next five years, Bayview Glen will continue to strengthen its role as a leader in bold thinking and future readiness while remaining firmly grounded in its founding values. Experiential and interdisciplinary learning will deepen, enabling students to apply their knowledge meaningfully beyond the classroom.
Academic excellence will continue to evolve through innovative pedagogy, thoughtful integration of technology, and sustained professional learning for faculty and staff. Our focus on student wellbeing, identity, and belonging will expand further, reinforcing our commitment to pluralism. Through strong partnerships, global and community-connected learning opportunities, and adaptable learning environments, Bayview Glen prepares graduates who are confident, ethical, and ready to thrive in a rapidly changing world."
"We will be expanding our middle school division to accommodate more students and have more classes. We will be participating in more Model United Nations events, and will host some events as well."
As a dedicated community of learners and leaders, Bayview Glen is a world class, co-educational institution that provides a wealth of opportunities for aspiring young minds to explore, experience and discover their passions through a rigorous, academic and supportive learning environment guided by our talented faculty and staff. Our mission is Whole Child: Whole Life: Whole World.
As a vibrant school community, it is paramount at its core that each individual feels welcomed, understood and valued. Our teachers place a high priority on engagement, mentorship and character development through our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Integrity, Equity and Balance. The fundamental building block of feeling a sense of belonging allows for greater opportunities and pathways for students to learn, explore, discover and experience the enrichment through our academic and extensive co-curricular programmes.
In today’s world and tomorrow’s pathway for students, one of the important goals of educational institutions is to teach our generation, not only to strive to be the best of who they are and get to a good place, but do it in a good way, with purpose and passion.
I invite you to contact our Admissions Department and visit our campus to experience firsthand our unique place of learning where students are provided a wealth of opportunities to discover their passions and purpose.
Maria Montessori's approach to education emphasizes child-led learning, practical life skills, and a prepared environment. It's a student-centered method focused on fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love of learning through self-directed activities and hands-on materials. At CMS we promote and encourage the Montessori method, where students feel comfortable to express themselves, and their opinions, as the environment is more like a community where everyone can develop and grow.
Montessori

Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.
Particularly popular in the younger grades (preschool to elementary), but sometimes available all the way up to high school, Montessori schools offer an alternative vision to the standard lesson format of most classrooms. Instead of listening to whole-class lessons, Montessori classrooms allow students to choose which "tasks" or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles - their essential feature being they contain a right answer and allow for selfcorrection. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on lessons being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with students developing a sense of self-sufficiency, confidence and curiosity.

Educating the whole child requires we provide a wide range of opportunities for students to explore. Developing an entrepreneurial mindset and establishing excellent communication skills are also top priorities.
Our schools’ aim is to prepare children to reach their full potential and to play a responsible role in protecting the global environment and fostering peace and harmony with natural processes and community interests. CMS endeavors to provide quality education in a safe, diverse, nurturing and creative environment that helps the development of the whole child. Our mission ensures that the child is academically motivated, artistically creative, physically active and emotionally supported.
Discovery Math
Discovery Math turns traditional math on its head: it frequently begins by introducing a novel problem to students, and works its way back to “discovering” a method of solving the problem. The goal is to ground mathematical procedures and algorithms firmly in their applications, and to challenge students to think critically about how they might go about solving the problem right from the beginning. Generally associated with the “Chicago Math” movement and related Everyday Math textbooks (Grades 1 to 6), Discovery math spends less classroom time mastering established algorithms and more time getting students invested in and thinking critically about novel mathematical problems and concepts. In this sense Discovery Math aims to establish conceptual and applied understand before procedural understanding.
Montessori based use of materials to enable each of the learners to kinesthetically access the curriculum. Whilst the provincial curriculum is also followed students are able to surpass their grade level expectations with the multi age support available in the class.

Phonics-intensive
Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.

Inquiry
Inquiry-based science emphasizes teaching science as a way of thinking or practice, and therefore tries to get students “doing” science as much as possible -- and not just “learning” it. Students still learn foundational scientific ideas and content (and build on this knowledge progressively); however, relative to expository science instruction, inquiry-based programs have students spend more time developing and executing their own experiments (empirical and theoretical). Students are frequently challenged to develop critical and scientific-thinking skills by developing their own well-reasoned hypothesis and finding ways to test those hypotheses. Projects and experiments are emphasized over textbook learning. Skills are emphasized over breadth of knowledge.

Expanding Communities
The Expanding Communities approach organizes the curriculum around students’ present, everyday experience. In the younger grades, students might learn about themselves, for example. As they move through the grades, the focus gradually broadens in scope: to the family, neighbourhood, city, province, country, and globe. The curriculum tends to have less focus on history than Core Knowledge programs.

Montessori
Reggio Emilia programs aim to develop curiosity and problem-solving skills through the liberal use of “projects”, (as opposed to “activities” or “lessons”). Teachers design projects for children around their demonstrated interests. Projects can be geared to an individual student, a small group of students, or the class as a whole. Projects can last from a few days to the whole year. Art is strongly emphasized and is typically incorporated into every project. Teachers actively participate in projects alongside students, rather than sitting back and observing. A high degree of parent involvement is also encouraged, particularly when forming curriculums and project plans (which happens throughout the academic year).
If you want to learn more about Reggio Emilia education, check out our comprehensive guide.
Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.

Bayview Glen offers a balanced programme starting at age two years.
We follow a Montessori Educational Philosophy based on the belief that a child learns best within a social environment that supports and nurtures each individual's unique developmental pattern. We follow the child's natural curiosity and desire to learn and provide an environment, materials and experiences to help each child reach their full potential. Children are free to challenge themselves at their own pace allowing them to build confidence and independence. All our classrooms are equipped with Montessori resources and our staff are Montessori trained. the casa program is also supplemented with additional specialist lessons of French, Art, Music and Physical education.
Standard-enriched
The main curriculum accelerates beyond the pace of the provincial one; ALL students do the work of OLDER public-school peers in tangible and measurable ways. This accelerated pace is maintained by the teachers and school, (through textbook selection, topic selection, grading, assignment standards and expectations, etc).
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.
Our students work at their own pace and level allowing them to excel in many areas of the Ontario Curriculum. We use the Montessori's hands-on, inquiry based methodology for teaching, therefore our students tend to cover
Supportive
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

Students wishing to study at Bayview Glen are asked to submit a completed application form, along with a copy of their birth certificate, immunization records, a recent school report, a photo and an application fee of $100. Admission to the school is based upon a review of past school reports, an interview or class visit, entrance testing and space availability. The Admissions Office is available to answer your questions, provide you with more information, and arrange for you to visit the school. For more information, please contact Judy Maxwell, Director of Admissions, at 416.443.1030 or [email protected].
We are looking for citizens of our world and the leaders of our tomorrow. We are looking for open minded children and parents to join our community where they will learn and discover how to ask the big questions, problem solve at their own peace and learn the importance of peace and harmony through the Montessori method of learning. We also offer a French Immersion programme.
Our admission process helps applicants and their parents become more familiar with Bayview Glen, its programmes and our educational philosophy. You begin by submitting a detailed application form. Then, students will visit the school to experience life in class, and will complete an entrance assessment. Once the admissions process is complete, students are notified in writing each March regarding their application status. Please visit the Admissions section of the Bayview Glen school website (www.bayviewglen.ca/admissions) for further details.
Please review our school website here for the full details of the registration and deposits according to the age of your child.
