Bayview Glen was founded in 1962 by L. Doreen (née Barwick) Hopkins as a nursery school and day camp. The school initially was housed in a barn in the Don River Valley near
Crescent School. The site now hosts Crestwood school. By 1964, Bayview Glen had expanded to include students from age two to Grade 1, and an adjoining property was acquired. for building school facilities, which was later named to honor the notable contributors. In 2012–2014, Bayview Glen underwent renovations and a building was constructed 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 campus offers 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. In 2022, Eileen Daunt announced her retirement as Head of School, and was succeeded by James Lee. ==In the media==
