honors classes
Rigorous academic track
Honors classes are more rigorous versions of standard courses, typically offered in high school and sometimes college.
They move faster, go deeper, and expect more from students than regular sections of the same subject.
Students take honors classes to challenge themselves academically and strengthen college applications: She's taking honors English and honors chemistry this year.
Distinguished from AP (Advanced Placement) courses, which offer potential college credit.
