Grade 12 Chemistry
Our Grade 12 Chemistry Program follows Ontario's Academic Curriculum (SCH4U) with the goal of fostering knowledge for university and beyond. Your child will develop an indepth understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, the structure and properties of matter, energy changes and rates of reaction, equilibrium in chemical systems, and electrochemistry. Emphasis will be placed refining skill needed for further study various branches of the chemistry and related fields.
