Need Help with Advanced (Past AP) High School Courses

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a high school senior seeking advanced online courses beyond AP level due to limitations on dual enrollment options. The student has completed nine dual enrollment courses and is looking for alternatives to Stanford Online High School, which charges approximately $3000 per class. The goal is to find online high school courses in math, science, or engineering that cost around $1000 or less, considering the $500 contribution from the school district. Suggestions for affordable online high schools or alternative opportunities are requested.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of dual enrollment policies in high schools
  • Familiarity with AP and college-level course structures
  • Knowledge of online education platforms
  • Awareness of financial aid options for online courses
NEXT STEPS
  • Research affordable online high schools offering advanced math and science courses
  • Explore financial aid options for online education
  • Investigate independent study programs that provide advanced coursework
  • Look into community colleges that offer online courses for high school students
USEFUL FOR

High school students, parents, and educators seeking advanced online learning opportunities in math, science, and engineering, particularly those navigating dual enrollment limitations and financial constraints.

I'm going into Senior year. I live I have taken 9 (3 I paid for so they don't count as dual enrollment) dual enrollment courses and next year I'm taking 4 more. I've reached my limit on college dual enrollment courses yet I have 2 spots in my schedule. I would like to use these to take math/science/engineering courses. I am allowed more "dual enrollment" courses as long as they are from a (online) high school. I would be interest in taking college-level (above AP and courses I've already taken) classes. I saw Stanford Online High School and they are the only one I've come across so far to offer classes above AP level. There is one problem though, the price, it's about $3000 per class and my high school will only pay about $500. Anyone know of any cheaper alternatives? By the way, I've looked into high school independent study but it's only for courses the district already offers, hence nothing I wouldn't already taken.

Listing of Previously Taken College/AP Courses:
Math:
Calculus 1
Calculus 2
Calculus 3
Differential Equations
Linear Algebra
Number Theory with Cryptology

Science:
AP Chemistry - 5
AP Physics C - 5 (on both Mechanics and E&M)
Organic Chemistry 1
Physical Chemistry 1 (and lab)

Engineering:
Engineering Materials (and lab)
Statics (as in Statics part of engineering mechanics)

Other:
AP US History
Principles of Economics (college course, basically does half of micro and half of macro)

Taking Soon:
Independent Study in Statistical Mechanics (at a college, out of McQuarrie, which is intended for chemistry graduate students, will also be doing some quantum out of Levine's Quantum Chemistry)
Modern Physics
Physical Chemistry 2
Intro to Nanotechnology

Anyways, any suggestions for online high schools with an adeque level of courework that I'd be able to take one or to classes at? Or possible other oppertunities. I don't mind paying part of it, but I definitely don't have the money to spend $2500 per class. Around $1000 or less per class (before my school district's $500 contribution) would be the limit.
