Dual credit question

I am planning next year’s courses with D21. She will take Spanish and English courses with a community college. The plan was to also take (through online providers) AP Physics 1, AP Calc BC, AP US Govt, and then she still has a half credit economics and a half credit of P.E. to do to fulfil state requirements.

Are community college semesters the same as one full year of high school? If so, then she’d have 8 credits next year instead of 6 if she took English and Spanish both semesters. I’d like her to have a full year of English and a full year of Spanish so there’s a chance she can have the same professor for both semesters in each subject and therefore have some LOC choices from a professor who gets to know her all year (I want her to have LOCs from teachers/profs of in-person classes as opposed to online).

However, since she hasn’t done dual credit before, I worry about overloading her. She did seven and a half high school credits in 9th grade and is handling 7 credits in 10th grade, but none of those courses were community college courses (though she has been taking APs - two in 9th and four right now in 10th).

How have you folks handled fitting dual credit courses into the schedule? Has a community college course felt that much more difficult than an AP course to your teen? Is it way too much to have three year-long AP courses and four semesters of cc courses (plus a year of non honors requirements) for 11th grade, or does that sound about right for high performing teens? I don’t yet have any personal experience with this, so any advice or perspective you’d like to share would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you figured out anything? Or google.com help us?)

Yes thanks - she’ll do 3 APs, 15 college credits (five one-semester courses), and one high school honors course next year. We’ve spoken to various folks around us who have followed a similar path, and I think she’ll do just fine with the schedule.
