Have you heard of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)?

Something like this: www.coursera.org/learn/craft-of-plot, or the one that appears (I can't post the link as I'm new) if you replace the word 'plot' in that first link with 'setting-and-description'.

That's just a couple which I stumbled on last week. I think they might be part of a wider series, if you explore the website. They charge a course fee, but there is a free option to 'audit only', which lets you access everything except the assignments. If you're looking to get school credit, maybe you could show the course materials to your English teacher, and agree some suitable assignments he/she is willing to grade for you?

If you'd like something at a good introductory level, I've followed this course, operated by the UK's Open University, and it was worthwhile: www.futurelearn.com/courses/start-writing-fiction.
I haven't looked around the internet, and I'm sure you'll find more options if you invest some time in searching. Organisations/websites offering MOOCs include Coursera, FutureLearn, Iversity and edX. There are probably more, too.

Good luck with your writing!
