advanced

/ədˈvɑːnst/

When used to describe technology or methods, "advanced" means it is modern and uses the latest discoveries. In education, an "advanced class" or "advanced level" refers to a stage that comes after the basic or intermediate levels. It implies that the student already has a strong foundation. When talking about age (e.g., "of advanced age"), it is a polite and formal way to say someone is very old.
