School...

CTF, city college classes are not very expensive. Like, they are UBER cheap. The main problem is getting your school to allow you to take them. Where are you located? What you need to do is find a homeschool group on your area. They are registered legally as a private school with a home study option. Transfer from your school to the homeschool group (As much as the school wants you to think you cannot, you CAN do that), and they will file you under an independant study program. From there, most colleges require principle approval of the classes you wish to take there. Just submit it to the homeschool group head, and they sign off on it as approved.

BAM! You are now earning your college degree and high school one at once! Seriously, full on city college general ed courses with full workload works out to a couple hundred a semester. If your family can get you an EE and a LCD tv for your bday, they can afford city college. Almost all 4 year colleges will accept general ed courses from city ones.

if you are choosing a field of study and only going to class 3 days a week, I don't see how that compares to our high schools.

I dunno, but what you call College we call University. It's all different.

I think its safe to say that we just have different education systems.

I don't do all that well in school. I do enjoy a lot of the classes, but right now I'm taking chemistry again (my own dumbass fault) and a few other classes. I just don't think I'll have much accomplished this year, but next year I plan on taking AP English and some other things.

Can anyone recommend any classes for business?

It sounds lame, but does your school offer the Microsoft certification thingy or whatever it is? It's some gay class that certifies you for most office jobs as far as Microsoft programs go. It's boring as piss and super easy, but good to have if you're into that kind of stuff. Accounting is also good if you're focusing on business, and if you're not very good at math or just hate it like I do, AP Stats is good. Keep in mind I've never taken any of these classes, just the Microsoft thing (all I did was take the test), but other kids who are trying to do things business-related take a lot of these courses.
