Cogito is an alternative program for children Grades K to 9. As enrollment continues to grow Cogito is approved to continue to Grade 12. This Edmonton Public Schools program has been in successful operation since 1995.
3 y: _$ F$ x- g! ?3 R' ^The program is designed for the student who is willing to work to achieve a high level of academic excellence, in a knowledge-based program, and an atmosphere of structured and sequenced learning.

我个人不愿意送孩子教会学校,我觉得教会学校是一种强灌 |
