" t9 m7 x1 W2 E9 z* x( VCogito 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. $ r6 P; y: f) O- [4 y
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.! a3 M; l( }- {( K9 f6 ~+ @( K; |* r# N

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 |
