Bnos Bais Yaakov was established as a High School for girls to perpetuate the goal of Sarah Schenirer, who envisioned an environment free from the influences of the outside world in which to educate her students. Bnos Bais Yaakov combines a first class education – both in religious studies as well as in general studies – together with an exceptional extra-curricular program. This unique blend has facilitated the remarkable success of its students, providing them with the tools to become exemplary Jewish wives and mothers. If you were to ask students of Bnos Bais Yaakov what is unique about their school, the unanimous reply would be "its warmth". Bnos Bais Yaakov prides itself on the feeling of friendship that permeates our school. Various programs connect Grades 9 through 12 with a special bond which makes them interact almost as family.
Bedford Park-Nortown was conceived as a middle class housing development on the northern boundary of the city, with mid-sized detached and semi-detached homes. The original homes in the area were constructed between 1890 and 1940. Many of the original homes still stand, with a number having undergone extensive renovations. A portion of the original homes in the neighbourhood have been torn down and replaced with larger, more modern homes. Avenue Road is home to many retail stores and businesses.
