===Course Rigor and University-Level Courses===

For particularly advanced Senior School students, there are several tracks of advanced classes available. For more detailed and specific curriculum, there are “Silver Classes” (``Klazei Argaca``) that provide a more comprehensive context of various subject matters, as well as providing what some may consider new and challenging ways to look at said matters. These classes are comparable to honors courses in other nations.

Furthermore, students may also be interested in conducting research while pursuing their secondary education. These students are able to enroll in “Gold Classes” (``Klazei Zeltaca``), which are essentially research semesters that allow a small handful of students to cooperate with faculty members while conducting novel research and experiments. These classes look very good on school transcripts, and as such, are very popular. There are also additional scholarships and awards available for the best research projects every year.

Finally, for students who want to get a head-start on their university education, there are two types of classes that can give university credit to students in Senior School. The first are “High Rigour Classes” (Klazei Avec Plu Rikur, or KAPR). These courses offer complex concepts and, upon passing one, students are granted credit according to the standards of the Ministry of Education’s Guidebook on University Credit Transferal (Conducted by the Office of University Accreditation).

The other method for Senior Students to acquire university credit is through the ''Student Bridge'' program (Pant dei Etudiēsei). This program allows students who have received particularly high marks on certain standardized tests (or who have already completed a number of advanced courses) to enroll in local universities and take courses there for free.
