7 hours at school is typical. When you are in high school you need the same amount of credits as everyone else to graduate. You can do school online, but I have seen enough programs to know it is not rigorous or you can home school. I hope she sleeps well in the car. That is a really hard life even if she becomes an Olympian.
My skater is not going to the Olympics but our drive is 10 minutes to the rink and 15 from the rink to school. - it allows her to have a "normal life" and still skate twice a day. Teens need 8-10 hours of sleep per day and their sleep cycle is different from an adult. They often can't naturally fall asleep until 11pm because of how their bodies produce the hormone melatonin.
