Course Overview
Chemistry gives students a focused way to build scientific inquiry, evidence-based thinking, and subject-specific concepts that connect theory with practical investigation. In an online format, students can move through Grade 11 expectations with more flexibility while still working toward a recognized Ontario credit. It is especially useful for students planning toward university-focused prerequisites and more advanced secondary study.
