Christine, you can call it honors if the authors/publishers of your curriculum, Apologia Science, say it is a honors course, then you can call it honors or if your child passes a honors level test after taking taking the course, then you might call it honors. (AP or CLEP exam from Collegeboard.com)
If your child does more than the expected work, beyond high school level, then you might call it honors. (Adding a college textbook or college level supplement.)
There is no country-wide definition of “honors.” It just generally means “more than usual or expected.” I hope that helps,
Blessings,

There's more to it than that, actually. The term "social studies" was invented to begin the process about 100 years ago of minimizing history, civics, and geography. All the various "-ologies" are are meant to undermine the importance of those three major areas of importance and as that happened those key areas (especially history and civics) were also polluted with politically correct, revisionist lies. We'll be sticking to what's really important here - accurate history along with related geography and a full study of civics, particularly the Constitution. The "-ologies" are just humanistic clap-trap. And we won't be calling any of it "social studies" on our transcripts.
Dear Joshua,
The expectations of colleges vary. As Lee was saying above, "Many colleges will specify what KIND of social studies they want." If you have a specific college in mind, you may want to consider joining the Gold Care Club, and Lee can help you navigate through the specific requirements for that particular college: http://www.thehomescholar.com/gold-care.php

Lisa,
thanks so much for your feedback! Let me tell you a Seattle story, so you won't miss it so much. Last week I found a slug on our car windshield. Parked in the garage. It's like he came out of nowhere, and dropped on my windshield in the middle of the night inside the garage. We've had LOTS of jokes about how it rains slugs..... And yes, major mizzle this morning
Blessings,
Lee
Lee, you are a dear! Love your SIMPLE explanations for things.
I'm reading your book "Setting the Record Straight" and it is SO helpful! I truly thank the Lord for you and all your help. You're helping take the fear out of this for me.
God bless and keep up the awesome work,
Lisa
PS - I'm from Washington, too! We had to move 3 years ago and I miss my lovely rainy state so much. So I feel like I'm talking to a "friend" when I read your stuff or write you. Take care and enjoy the mizzle!
