% q7 L% k; N: k6 w+ A3 a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。, V( p( k6 ?: S: {
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.
) d2 M/ X* N* {5 L( g) qThe 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.( C. V" ]. E% @9 N

% t) e* K, Q, l2 u5 g: \3 `9 Y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。$ L) r. s; }& v# S; V4 G; A

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 |
