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。
0 }$ Q/ G! x# h* HCogito 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. ( k* k+ \' v: t" _( t. B! T. Z
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. Critical thinking is stressed. Students work in an environment that encourages self-discipline.9 V t2 ]" @, ]0 t e/ x0 _

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 q$ e8 ^ q. v( S. ^& b! 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 |
