今天给孩子报名上学,登记的老师问是"REGULAR"还是"COGITO"?只好拿点材料走了,看了看也不清楚两者区别.另外听说还有AC,IB等等PROGRAM,这些都是什么意思?
5 z8 o( x' F; Z另外,天主教学校好吗?

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。& u+ n# S) ?9 f% @3 L! h: R
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.

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。+ c+ `, m e1 `8 z

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 |
