No, quite the opposite. It's to present academically-advanced material in a developmentally-appropriate way. For instance, it's not developmentally appropriate to expect an 8yo to sit through a 3-hour lecture (as you might get in a college-level course), even though the 8yo might have the intelligence and background to otherwise do well with the material.
