Juvenile class is a special education model for precocious teenagers.

The juvenile class in Chinese mainland started at 1978. At the suggestion of Chinese-American physicist Li Zhengdao, many colleges and universities in China once recruited young college students, but for various reasons, most colleges and universities stopped enrolling students.

In the training mode, the juvenile class takes "student-oriented" and "student-centered" as the guiding ideology, and carries out the training process of autonomous learning and research that runs through the whole university and organically integrates curriculum learning with scientific and technological innovation activities.

In 2008, the Junior Class and the National Laboratory of Microscale Materials Science jointly run a school, and the project "Junior Class-Innovative Experimental Zone of Interdisciplinary Talents Training Mode" was officially unveiled at the 30th anniversary celebration meeting of the Junior Class of the Chinese University of Science and Technology.
