Grade 11 Chemistry Program

Our Grade 11 Chemistry Program follows Ontario's Academic Curriculum (SCH3U) with the goal of fostering knowledge for university and beyond. Your child will deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; and atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of gases. Special attention will be applied to analytical skills and investigations of the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter.
