Our Story
Cogita Education Initiatives is the result of a collaboration between educators from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Teachers College, Columbia University. We’re an educational ecosystem that empowers students to connect together for the common good. We assist families and students to redefine “good” and “success,” advocating for more of a humanistic approach to education.

School and Parent Involvement
We find it is important to be familiar with all stakeholders involved in the student’s success. By working closely with the student’s school administration, we are able to establish a connection with teachers to communicate about the student’s performance and growth. For parents, we actively make use of Wechat, email, and google docs to keep them informed about student’s progress and ease concerns.

Family Education
In order to familiarize families with the American education system and enhance their cross-cultural communication skills, we educate them with our work in cross-cultural communication, which is based on a seminar present annually by Marina at at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
