SCH3U Chemistry, Grade 11 (University)
The first full chemistry course: bonding, reactions, and the mole — the quantitative core that decides whether Grade 12 chemistry feels routine or impossible. Stoichiometry is drilled here until it is arithmetic, not algebra with fear.
Inside the course
Matter, trends and chemical bonding
Types of chemical reactions
The mole and quantitative stoichiometry
Solutions, solubility and concentration
Gases and atmospheric chemistry
Where it leads
Leads to SCH4U, which engineering and health-science programs name explicitly.
PREREQUISITE
Assessment & credit
Standard Ontario assessment: 70% coursework, 30% final evaluation. Completion ships as an official transcript, OUAC-listed and recognized by public and private schools.
How we run it
Small groups, online or in person (Markham campus); semester, summer and winter intakes, scheduled around the student’s Top 6 plan.
