Another option would be to find out if there’s a professional children’s school, arts magnet school or individual tutoring available through your school district. Often, in areas where this is not out of the norm, the districts will assist with helping you figure out how to combine school and dance.

What state are you in?
In California, we have a few online options that are pretty good, including the Stanford Online High School.
Since what you’re describing would come under the same aegis as homeschooling, you might find info
in your area from other parents who’s kids have opted out of traditional high school.

BTW, congrats to your daughter.
You should recognize however, that as an elite dancer, she may feel pressured to postpone college for a few years to focus on the best years of her dance career. A student is so vulnerable at this juncture and the most successful (as people, not as dancers) are those who are well supported.

Check out the Dominican College/Line Dance Theater program in San Rafael, CA. They offer a dance BA and a completion program for pro dancers.
