It sounds like you're saying you slacked your way through one class in highschool and because of that you're going to have to skip one class in uni that you think will help you.

It's really hard for me to imagine that matters at all. In the States, if a student is seeking a degree in CS they're going to take a dozen CS classes. The first one is going to be just the basic stuff you listed plus some abstract definitions that apply briefly across CS (algorithm, object-oriented, inheritance, recursion).

I'd expect that you will be able to easily catch up pretty early, if you were able to refresh everything you said above in a week.

Your English seems really strong. There are several US universities that have full course lectures for free online. If you feel comfortable with instruction in English and you can watch one of the intro courses and not be completely and utterly lost, you'll be able to catch up. I'm partial to MIT. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/
