Classes to take Senior Year - A Consideration for Competitive Admissions and Preparation for College

Applying to College

She will likely need to “retake” calculus in college (it won’t reqlly be a retake if only because approach and pace will necessarily be different).
I agree with @MAmomto4 : try to find out who teaches these classes. (Isn’t calculus “automatically honors”? Most HS count it as such and all T1 schoolw I know.)
Taking the HS version, if taught well (even if slower paced) would be sufficient as an introduction before she takes the college course. If the class is going to be a waste of time due to unqualified teachers or if she really wants to learn more in depth she could take it through CTY.
For Physics, would CTY offer an algebra based physics class similar to AP Physics 1 or 2 or the old Ap Physics B?
