Math in HS beyond Calc BC [for prospective physics major]

I imagine the CTY or the Stanford ones are potentially more interesting and geared to accelerated high schoolers rather than older college students. Are any of these regarded as better or prestigious by college admissions (or do you know other options)? If he ends up at a public school/UC, I imagine real college credit would be the better way to go - but if he ends up at a private school, etc., the actual credit will matter much less.

Taking an actual college course at a college while in high school has the advantage of giving the student experience with how college courses are run (meaning much less supervision than in high school, requiring better motivation and time management on the part of the student). Experiencing this in small doses while in high school can work out better than figuring it all out with a full college schedule in the first semester of college.
