+ {, n& h1 I3 K# k, V5 Y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。
9 G( q" q! |6 m5 N5 ~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. + U9 R* r- L$ [0 J5 ^! }4 ]
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.

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。' y9 R4 o3 y% L2 q6 l5 x# e' ]
