В центъра на сюжета е клас от деца с изключителни възможности и техния учител Чарли Мур. Специалното обучение на децата е подпомагано от "Програмата за индивидуализация на учениците" в гимназията "Монро", намираща се в центъра на Манхатън. Чарли Мур успява да насочи учениците си в правилната посока и всички те демонстрират знания, които ги издигат над останалите деца на тяхната възраст. Но скоро става ясно, че те все още не са наясно с откритите човешки взаимоотношения и що се отнася до самите тях те тепърва трябва да опознаят вътрешното си Аз.

In het midden van het plot staat een klas kinderen met uitzonderlijke capaciteiten en hun leraar Charlie Moore. Het speciale onderwijs voor de kinderen wordt ondersteund door het 'Student Individualization Program' op de Monroe High School, gelegen in het centrum van Manhattan. Charlie Moore slaagt erin zijn leerlingen in de goede richting te sturen en ze tonen allemaal kennis die hen boven de rest van de kinderen van hun leeftijd plaatst. Maar het wordt al snel duidelijk dat ze zich nog niet bewust zijn van open menselijke relaties, en wat zichzelf betreft, ze moeten hun innerlijke zelf nog leren kennen.

Head of the Class is an American sitcom that ran from 1986 to 1991 on the ABC television network.

The series follows a group of gifted students in the Individualized Honors Program at the fictional Monroe High School in Manhattan, and their history teacher Charlie Moore. The program was ostensibly a vehicle for Hesseman, best known for his role as radio DJ Dr. Johnny Fever in the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. Hesseman left Head of the Class in 1990 and was replaced by Billy Connolly as teacher Billy MacGregor for the final season. After the series ended, Connolly appeared in a short-lived spin-off titled Billy.

The series was created and executive produced by Rich Eustis and Michael Elias. Rich Eustis had previously worked as a New York City substitute teacher while hoping to become an actor.

La série raconte l'histoire d'une classe de surdoués intégrée dans le Individualized Honors Program (IHP) du Lycée Monroe (puis Millard Fillmore) à Manhattan, et son professeur Charlie Moore (Howard Hesseman) (puis Billy MacGregor).
