I'm not homeschooled, but...

I've basically run out of classes to take at my tiny private high school (except for English and History). I've self-studied a couple of APs already. I figured I would home school myself in some more classes my senior year. Does anyone have any recommendations of how I should go about that? Should I enroll at a local community college? I have home schooled friends who take correspondence courses, or something like that. What option would provide the most rigorous course experience?

Find a study partner who is smarter or more motivated than you.
Head up library or study the same courses together.

Yes you should definitely take classes at your local community college, many universities accept it as credit, just like AP classes!

Or look into online classes--always a decent option!

Stanford has the best reputation afaik, but it's expensive.

Also, really look into the community college thing. It took me like half an hour to enroll, and you can take advanced classes at night. Rigor varies widely. If there is a 4-year in driving distance that lets high schoolers take classes, that would be ideal.
