简单看了一下,大概是和普通学校不同的教育方式,强化听说读写,教学大纲的要求更高些,更学术些。/ ]: n j- a9 n! c3 n* ~" O/ G% H
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.
& i.

Critical thinking is stressed. Students work in an environment that encourages self-discipline.7 N) ]+ k+ B0 D2 b. _

我觉得挺符合中国家长对孩子的期望,但是有些西方家长不在乎,他们更希望孩获得学习的乐趣,而不是学习的深度。所以不同的期望,不同的选择而已。7 P# T t6 E$ N: C+ ^

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 |
