" s9 D0 T- Y& q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。! K* X, _. o) P) `
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. " Y! o4 `0 _" p 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.4 n$ Y* ~+ N- w/ h

' N; @9 N3 k& ?$ P3 R' n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。$ w2 ]/ `6 V" N3 n% k( t; E

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 |
