Should I Teach Myself Physics and Advanced Calculus in High School?

Greetings everyone. I have had a growing interest in the area of chemistry and physics, more in physics perhaps. Currently I am a sophomore in high school and taking honors chemistry. Next year I will take AP Chemistry and the following year AP Physics. Most unfortunately, I am not able to take physics this year, although, I have begun to acquire a vast quantity of literature regarding physics; I have used these resources for around three months now in order to teach myself. It was serendipitous that I found this site and I fully hope that I am able to learn about physics within this community.
Thank you, have a nice day.

Question: Are there any online resources that provide a compendium of knowledge regarding physics that I can study from. Also, do you, as a community of individuals, have any recommendations regarding my situation, even though I portrayed it to have a benevolent connotation?

I feel quite foolish; directly after I had posted this thread I came upon the plethora of resources for studying. I apologize for the confusion. The second part of my question still applies though.
 
Welcome to PF!
 
Hi Trevor,

for your second question, do you mean advice on self-teaching? Try looking through the threads in the Academic Guidance section of the forum. There's been quite a few people asking similar questions, if memory serves.
 
Thanks, my question was regarding my current situation. I am in pre-calculus honors, and, as I previously stated honors chemistry. Should I teach myself physics and more advanced calculus or simply wait for later in high school? I shall definitely take a look a the Academic Guidance section.
 
Hello everyone, I was advised to join this community while seeking guidance on how to navigate the academic world as an independent researcher. My name is Omar, and I'm based in Groningen The Netherlands. My formal physics education ended after high school, but I have dedicated the last several years to developing a theoretical framework from first principles. My work focuses on a topological field theory (which I call Swirl-String Theory) that models particles as knotted vortex...
