Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, has made several classes available for free online through their Worldwide Classroom.
Although Ancient and Medieval Church History is a college-level course, I believe it would be appropriate for a high school student studying this topic.
In order to listen to these free classes, you’ll need to register with Worldwide Classroom. After registering, you’ll be able to listen to all of these sessions on Mp3, as well as download written transcripts and study guides for each lecture.
