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?
8 i( H: R6 F' {: e, ]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。
$ T; _$ h) Y+ b: s. @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. 2 T: f1 j; W+ Z# m$ F+ k% E
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.3 `$ }% k& D( ]# n4 C7 e

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。
