English term or phrase: accelerated classes
Context: "Tar would be in the accelerated classes all through school. At the age of three he already knew there was no better scapegoat than a retarded bully."

Are there such classes for smart pupils in the US school system or is it just a way of saying that this little boy was particularly smart?

Grazie per l'aiuto. Non mi pare che in Italia si possano fare più anni in uno, perlomeno nelle scuole statali, e pertanto ho optato per una perifrasi (Tar è sempre stato un ragazzo molto precoce, a scuola e nella vita).
