Enriched Classes?

Question

I am going into the middle school next year, and I got a letter in the mail saying that I was in the Enriched Math Class. And all it said was that the class was to enrich students in math.

I feel stupid asking this, but what does it mean? Is it like an advanced class?

Answer 1

Yes, an enriched math class is more advanced than an academic one. The teacher will probably be stricter or teach the material at a faster pace. You might also learn slightly more than the curriculum.

If you got into an enriched math class, that is by all means a good thing :)

Answer 2

Enriched Classes are classes for smart kids.  The teacher usually teaches at a faster pace than a regular classroom.  If you get in enriched classes now, you will probably stay in enriched classes through high school, and that looks good on your transcript.
