Is it good idea of taking very hard course load?

sybbie’s comments are accurate: the school profile will show the APs offered, list more advanced (“post-AP”) courses offered, and give other details relevant to how hard the curriculum is. That in combination with your D’s transcript will show that she took advantage of the most rigorous curriculum available, and (most) colleges will evaluate her in the right context.

Ask your D’s guidance office for a copy of the school profile they send out with their transcripts and GC recommendation letter. You may feel better after you read it: I know I did, after I saw the profile from my S’s prep school.
