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. 7 @3 }# @ O/ M0 l6 H+ Q7 @
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.

+ S; t' ? _. y0 D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。) T" v% z3 d0 v' h/ t# F& s9 o
