Bayridge Secondary School is a secondary school located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada offering grades 9 to 12. The school is located in what was formerly Kingston Township in a neighbourhood known as Bayridge.
Built in 1974, it draws 900 students from the built-up area of the Bayridge subdivision west to Amherstview. Bayridge has a second off-site campus, the Bayridge Learning Centre, at Progress Avenue. This caters for about 150, mainly adult, students who are at risk of dropping out or who do not fit into a regular classroom environment.
The school was originally opened with an "open concept" learning environment as part of a number of experimental educational concepts undertaken in Ontario in the 1970s. These concepts were generally abandoned by the early 1980s, at which time a more traditional environment was adopted.
