Do not fear. No matter how "high" the courses are in high school, I assure you college courses will be very challenging. Remember, there IS life beyond high school classes. You will find that out soon enough. Just be prepared.

Yes you can get credit for both at the same time. I started college full time as a sophmore and finished high school at the same time. I'd recommend doing part time college and full time high school, it's more fun. As for having nothing else to take, I doubt you'll find yourself in that situation. Theoretically though if you were to some how finish all that college required of you before you left high school then all you would have to do is apply for graduation. Though I honestly think that situation isn't plausible. Good Luck!

If your school offers programs at high school then you will get dual credits
if it is at the college and offered by the college only , you will not get dual credits if it is not offered by the high school.
talk to your councellor to be sure, schools can differ by country/state
If you have nothing else to take, it means you have all your credits to graduate, you are technely a high school grad. Which means, you can college course as such.

You may also want to work full time for a while just so you dont get sick of school, and to save money for your education, high school, paid by your parents usuallly is a Heck of a LOT CHEAPER then college. At my small..tiny.. community college each course ranged from 300 -500 dollars per semester. My one semester was 1300 $ and with books it came to about 2000$ total.

Taking 'high' or level 1 classes will help prepare you to taking AP classes at your school if your school has them. AP courses are meant to take away some of the core requirements of colleges and look good on a transcript when you plan on applying to college. However, I have to warn you that the quantity of AP should not be valued over the quality of your performance.

Take what you can handle. But even without considering Ap classes, you should take high class anyways to build your work ethics.

Yes, many schools offer courses that earn college credit. If you have a community college nearby they might even allow you to take a class there on campus.

yes, and it shows ambition on your part - always a plus! You also may be able to graduate hs early and then just go back for the ceremony but in the meantime start college in january.

you have to ask your school if you can do that. I know my high school let us do that.
