entry program founded 30 years ago that consists of approximately 110 students per grade living in York Region, who are selected based on their performance in a three-part entrance exam (testing mathematics, English, and French, which was replaced by a collaborative intake activity in 2019), their grade 7 final report card and a letter of teacher reference (no longer required after 2014, required again in 2016 and on). This programme targets students who are well-rounded and high achievers in all aspects of school. The entrance exam is written in the November of the students' grade 8 year, and the candidates are picked by the IB coordinators and school administration by January. Students would first enter pre-IB and if they so choose, may take the IB Diploma Programme in their Grade 11 and 12 years. The IB Diploma Programme at Bayview S.S. includes the following: HL (Higher Level) English A Literature, SL (Standard Level) French B, HL History, HL Economics, SL Geography (no longer offered), HL Biology, HL Chemistry, SL Biology, SL Chemistry, SL Physics, SL Mathematics, SL Theatre, SL Visual Arts, CAS (Creativity, Action, Service), and the Extended Essay, which students begin writing in their Grade 11 year and finish in their Grade 12 year. The IB Diploma Programme also includes a TOK or Theory of Knowledge course. In order to convert their 7-point IB scale marks into the percentile system in the Ontario education system, IB students are offered a mathematical conversion system. The first two years in this programme are free, but the last two years require a $3000 non-refundable fee, not eligible for a tax receipt. The school does not provide transportation for students who do not live near the school. As of 2018, the school no longer accepts students into the IB Diploma Programme if they do not live within the school boundary. This is due to the increase of the IB Diploma Programme in nearby schools. Virtually 100% of graduating students from the IB programme follow on with a university education. University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, Queen's University and University of Western Ontario have been some of the most popular destinations, though some graduates choose to continue their education in elite American universities, such as the Ivy League schools.
