Can IB High Level Courses be considered Honors Courses?
Answered

My school does not formally offer Honors Courses, yet I am taking 4 High Level Courses. I am wondering if these courses can also be dubbed as Honors Courses, since I am taking them at a higher level, for American College Admissions processes.

IB courses are considered a step above honor courses, so they're technically better than honor courses. I suppose, in some sort of way, they can be considered honor courses. Like, the honor courses of honor courses. Something similar to the prestige of AP classes.
