@cellardweller, but it's online courses. I want to take course that give me both high school and college credit so that I don't have to go to my high school but still can graduate.

I do not think MIT has a dual enrollment program. I think many high school students in the area will take classes at the Harvard Extension school if they are looking to take college courses.

I do not believe MIT offers courses to high school students. Usually it's just state universities and community colleges that do this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't know of any set program for teaching college classes to high school students sponsored by any of the top universities during the school year. I mean, Stanford and Harvard have summer programs, I think, but they don't teach high schoolers during the school year.

^Harvard Extension School operates during the year, and as I understand it, there are often local high schoolers taking Extension School courses.

Indeed Robert Winters teaches Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra at Harvard Extension. These classes are dominated by high school students.

MIT does not have an official extension program, although I know people who have enrolled in MIT classes as special students while in high school. It's up to you to work it out with your eventual college as to whether you'll just get credit or whether you'll have to do something else.

Several of them ended up coming to MIT for college with varying degrees of credit transfer. One of my friends had to retake some of the math classes (he did very well, obviously) because MIT had no official record of him taking them as a student in order to get credit.
