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. & r& q! ~6 z# D
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./ _( ?: ?" J$ p0 \& {8 o

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 |
