Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad (SJChO)
The Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad (SJChO) is an annual Chemistry competition that provides a platform for all upper secondary students to challenge themselves in their chemical knowledge and skills. It also seeks to promote the excitement in learning and doing Chemistry as well as to identify and develop chemistry talents.
Our SJChO Course Syllabus was developed by our Chemistry specialists, and seeks to prepare participants fully for the competition so that they can tackle questions with confidence and ease.
