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。* T9 Z- J0 R% B" l t1 w
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.
" f. _* }; L3 G( Y: k+ C. NThe 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. Critical thinking is stressed. Students work in an environment that encourages self-discipline.

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。8 T6 Q' R7 s3 f8 w

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 |
