In my school there are only normal curricular clases, no advance or honor clases, what can I do instead?
I currently live in Chile (South-America) and here we have something called "electives", where we have to chose between very little subjects, not really advance. I've seen that honour classes mean a lot. What can I do? I am 13 and I am in ninth grade

Kind of what the other person said. Most colleges know that what classes your school offers and will take that into account. Besides, the thing that they are really interested is how much you challenge yourself. To "show" them this I would try to either
- establish a club
- get a leadership role
- get a job so that they can see you can balance interests and academics ( same goes for doing athletics and Fine arts )
- volunteer
These are some ideas of how to do that, but you might be able to find some more that align with your interests.
