$ `" O6 d2 F2 N6 ]1 V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。
4 h/ p; e4 z' O7 X0 H) D' v' UCogito 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.
% G! u: J% m4 ~, [/ z5 _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 K. X8 g" l# H; {" u% E2 Y

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 |
