SCH4U questions
Is SCH4U hard?
It is one of the most demanding Grade 12 courses, mostly because it builds on SCH3U skills. With the basics rebuilt, it becomes very manageable.
Do I need SCH4U for university?
Many Ontario health science, life science and engineering programs require it. Check each program's admission requirements, and we can help you plan.
When should we start tutoring?
Ideally at the start of the semester, or in the summer before. We also help students who join mid-course to catch up before the final exam.
Can you help with online or summer school SCH4U?
Yes. We follow the same Ontario curriculum whether your child takes SCH4U in day school, summer school or online.
