ENG3U – English, Grade 11 (University Preparation)
This course expands students’ experience with literature, language, and critical analysis. Learners will study a variety of texts from different periods and genres, including novels, poetry, drama, and multimedia works, to deepen their understanding of how form, style, and content shape meaning. Students will strengthen their analytical, communication, and creative writing skills by producing formal essays, editorials, and imaginative compositions. Emphasis will be placed on developing a sophisticated command of academic language, exploring literary techniques such as rhyme and meter, and applying critical thinking to interpret complex ideas. By the end of the course, students will be prepared for Grade 12 University English (ENG4U) and for the demands of postsecondary academic writing and communication.
ENG3C – English, Grade 11 (College Preparation)
This course focuses on strengthening students’ literacy, communication, and critical thinking skills for success in college and everyday life. Learners will study a range of informational, visual, and literary texts from Canada and around the world, exploring how content, form, and style shape meaning.
Students will produce a variety of oral, written, and media works for both practical and academic purposes, developing the ability to use language clearly, precisely, and effectively. Emphasis will be placed on organization, clarity of expression, and the development of well-supported ideas.
By the end of the course, students will be prepared for Grade 12 College English (ENG4C) and for postsecondary studies or workplace environments that require strong communication and analytical skills.
MCF3M – Functions & Applications, Grade 11 (University/College Preparation )
MCR3U – Functions, Grade 11 (University Preparation)
This course introduces students to the mathematical concept of the function and extends their understanding of relationships studied in earlier grades. Learners will investigate the properties and applications of linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, and explore how these can be represented algebraically, graphically, and numerically.
Students will develop problem-solving strategies, learn to manipulate algebraic expressions, and analyze functions to model real-world and theoretical situations. They will also examine inverse and composite functions, strengthening their ability to reason mathematically and communicate ideas effectively. By the end of the course, students will be prepared for Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U) and Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U), as well as postsecondary programs that require strong analytical and mathematical skills.
SPH3U – Physics, Grade 11 (University Preparation)
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and principles of physics through inquiry-based learning and practical investigation. Learners will explore topics such as kinematics and linear motion, forces, energy transformations, mechanical waves and sound, and electricity and magnetism. Students will develop their scientific reasoning and problem-solving skills by designing and conducting experiments to test physical laws and analyze data. Emphasis will be placed on applying theoretical knowledge to real-world and technological contexts. Throughout the course, students will also examine the connections between physics, technology, society, and the environment, considering how innovations in physics shape modern life. This course provides a strong foundation for Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U) and postsecondary studies in science, and engineering fields.
SCH3U – Chemistry, Grade 11 (University Preparation)
This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of chemistry and their real-world applications. Learners explore atomic structure, bonding, reactions, quantitative relationships, solutions, gases, and environmental chemistry through inquiry-based learning and lab investigations.
Emphasis is placed on accurate measurement, safe practices, and interpreting experimental data. Students also examine how chemistry contributes to health, technology, and sustainability.
