Is it possible..., and would it be a stupid mistake? Options

Is it possible to take courses over the summer (like at a public high school or community college) to get the courses required to graduate.... a year early? I'm a Junior this year. I've already taken English I, II, and III; Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II; Chemisty, Biology; and three years of Social Studies. And, I've taken a crap load of electives. I've looked online, but I cant seem to find alot of info on it.



And if it is possible, would it be a stupid idea? I go to a Christian private school, and my parents have already said that i'm NOT going back there next year. The school is crap to say the least. So I'd be a senior, at a new school. Paying at least $7,000 in tuition. I'd be a new kid in a new school... by the time I'd make new friends, the year would be over with. My parents have already said that I have to go to a Christian school... not for the religion, but to keep me out of the public school system. But the thing is, I'd be a Liberal, Democrat, and an Agnostic in a Conservative Christian school full of Republicans. So yeah.



And plus, I plan on going to a community college to be a nurse. And after being an RN, I'll move up to a University for a 4 year degree. So I'd get to start college and my life a year early, wouldnt have to worry about adjusting to a new school, and I'd save my parents $7000.



Good idea? Bad idea? Anyone ever heard of anyone doing that before? Should I just be a normal senior next year? LOL.

But you'll miss Senior Ball and all that good stuff!

My parents and I were actually talking about letting me skip a year of high school (freshman year) when I was in junior high. Never did it, but I guess high school is pretty short so it wouldn't make a difference. Next year (senior year) I only need to take 1 class...English, since they require four years. If I would have graduated early, then I would have taken English as a summer course.
