孩子还小,不了解,查到了网站

% @- @7 r& p9 Y- s9 e! N# 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。- R* g/ w. S, [3 L* N, O0 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.

Critical thinking is stressed. Students work in an environment that encourages self-discipline.
