SCH4U Grade 12 Chemistry is the key grade 12 course for students going into life science or engineering. This course, in our opinion, is one of the 3 toughest courses in high school (the other two being physics 12 and calculus). This course contains lots of application, situation based questions and students are required to understand the concept and apply his knowledge in these situation based questions. Memorizing equations or steps will never work. We teach important techniques for students to excel in this course.
