History

The school was constructed in 1955 and opened on September 4, 1956, to students. The original street address was 76 Keane Avenue. The building was designed by architects Shore and Moffat. Burnhamthorpe was officially opened on November 9, 1956.

During the 1966 school year BCI shared classrooms with students at Martingrove Collegiate Institute, whose school was not completed in time for the start of the school year.
