Who should take SCH4C online?
SCH4C supports more than one pathway. Whether you are heading to university, college, an apprenticeship or the skilled trades, or straight into the workplace, this credit counts toward your OSSD.
- Students applying to college health sciences, nursing or laboratory technology programs that list a Grade 12 chemistry course
- Students preparing for apprenticeships, the skilled trades or the workplace in fields that handle chemicals, such as cosmetology, plumbing or environmental services
- Students interested in how chemistry affects daily life and the environment
- Students who need a senior science credit to complete the OSSD
- Graduates and mature students completing a missing college prerequisite
- Homeschooled students, student-athletes and international students who need a flexible schedule
What you will learn
- Matter and qualitative analysis: Examine the properties of matter and identify substances using qualitative analysis.
- Organic chemistry: Explore the structure, naming and uses of common organic compounds.
- Electrochemistry: Investigate oxidation and reduction reactions, electrochemical cells and their applications.
- Chemical calculations: Use the mole concept and solution concentrations to solve quantitative problems.
- Chemistry in the environment: Analyze how chemical processes affect air and water quality and the environment.

SCH4C frequently asked questions
What is the prerequisite for SCH4C?
The Ontario prerequisite for SCH4C is Grade 10 Science, either SNC2D, Academic, or SNC2P, Applied.
Do I need SCH4C for college?
Many college health science and laboratory programs list a Grade 12 chemistry course such as SCH4C. Check the admission requirements for each program you are applying to.
Do I need Grade 11 chemistry before SCH4C?
No. SCH4C requires only Grade 10 Science, Academic or Applied, so no Grade 11 chemistry course is needed.
How long does SCH4C take online?
The course has 110 hours of lessons. You have 4 months from enrollment, and extensions are available up to 12 months in total. Many students finish sooner because the course is self-paced.
Will my SCH4C mark be accepted?
Yes. Aubrey Academy is Ministry-inspected, and we submit your final grade directly to OCAS and send your report card to your home school.
I already took SCH4C. Can I raise my mark?
Yes. Our Mark Upgrade option builds on the work you already completed instead of retaking the full course.
