Thinking Ahead for High School

I have been thinking a lot about Alyssa's course of action when it comes to high school. Where Doug has no desire to go to college Alyssa does. She wants to veterinarian or a Marine Biologist.She is also interested in Religious studies and I plan to address that using an at home study course through the University of Sedone. This would allow her to obtain a B.A. in Metaphysical Science .  So I know now I need her math and science to be strong and that means I to will need to learn this material ahead of time or at least a good general understanding. I have also been thinking about covering a few course in 8th grade that could be counted toward high school credits. Which means we would be doing a 5 yr high school plan instead of  four year plan.This would allow for a lighter course load during high school and allow us to take more time with the material. I am going to list the possible course and then the ones I am pretty sure we will use. Those will be listed yr 1, yr 2 ect..

 Now I will list the course I am pretty sure she will choose or will need to take

Year 1- 6credits
Ancient History-( Susan Wise Bauer)
Spanish 1
 Culinary 1-( I already have two year study books from culinary school to use)
Pre-Alg-( A+tutorsoft)
Art History
Physical Science
Grammar and Comp I

Year 2- 7 credits
Earth science-(CK -12)
Medieval History -( Susan Wise Bauer)
Spanish 2
Algebra 1-(A+tutorsoft)
Culinary II-( Culinary School Text)
Garmmar and Comp II

Year 3 - 6 credits
Biology
Algebra II-( A+tutorsoft)
American History
American Lit
Photography-( online free course along with a course given at local rec center)
World Religions- ( Anthropology of Religion offered online through Utah State if still available)  


Year 4 -5 credits-( Note she would actually have enough credits to graduate this yr)
Creative Writing
Geometry
Life Science
Government
Act- Test Prep
Preforming Arts- ( local Preforming Arts studio)

Year 5- 3credits and first yr toward B.A. in Metaphysical science
Veterinarian Science-( hands on working at local vet. and distant learning course from Stratford Career Institute )
World Geography
Personal Finance
Metaphysical Science-(distant learning from University of Sedona, we will actually start this course mid year of the 4th year and will finish the course 6 months after finishing high school)

This should give her a total of 27 credits, 1 yr toward diploma in Veterinarian Assistant  and  a B.A. in Metaphysical Science.  Math credits-4, English credits- 4, History credits-6, Science credits-5 making 19 core credits.  I am not giving credits for Pre-Algebra, ACT test Prep, or the Metaphysical Science course, or Veterinarian Assistant . She would continue the Veterinarian Assistant program at home after high school for another 6 months to a year. It is a learn at your own pace program. I will add a link and info below. Since I am a Certified Pet Groomer I will be teaching her that as well as her volunteering at a few different Vets. Locally that I have a good relationship with and said they would love to give her the hands on experience.
If she chose to then enter into an actual state college she would already have a degree as a Veterinarian Assistant and a B.A. in Metaphysical Science.
