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。
) }% R4 O. G& C9 V. ~! SCogito 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. " k9 E: q* X6 o6 f; m+ K" A
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. w. M* B, V3 k! q

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 |
