Tiferes Bais Yaakov seeks to help our students internalize the joy and excitement of a Torah-true way of life, and seeks to instil a deep-rooted understanding of Torah values in each of our students. TBY endeavours to provide our girls with the skills necessary to function successfully in today’s society and become contributing members of their community and the Jewish community at large. This is accomplished through inspiring and rigorous Limudei Kodesh studies, secular academic excellence, and midos and character development, thereby producing young women equipped with the tools to help them reach their educational and spiritual potential within the guidelines of Torah-true Halacha and Hashkafa.
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.
