Question 1

What is CogniGrit for ages 10-14?

Accepted Answer

CogniGrit is a cognitive development academy for ages 10-14. We train reasoning, critical thinking, focus, and decision-making through live dialogue, structured challenge, and measurable practice.

Question 2

How is CogniGrit different from tutoring?

Accepted Answer

Tutoring teaches content. CogniGrit trains cognition: how to think. We build the reasoning habits that help a child teach themselves any subject, and we track measurable cognitive growth, not just test scores.

Question 3

Is CogniGrit a good fit for high-performing or gifted students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many families join because school is not challenging enough. CogniGrit adds rigor through logic, argumentation, systems thinking, and intellectual leadership while keeping class sizes small.

Question 4

What results should parents expect?

Accepted Answer

Parents usually see stronger reasoning, clearer communication, better focus, and more confidence with hard problems. We do not promise specific grades or admissions outcomes, but we do show clear progress in cognitive performance over time.

Question 5

What is the right age to start critical thinking training?

Accepted Answer

Ages 10-14 are ideal because this is a high-growth window for executive function, flexibility, and reasoning habits. Our curriculum is built specifically for that developmental stage.

Question 6

What are your two program tracks?

Accepted Answer

Track A: Foundations is for ages 10-11 and focuses on clarity, logical precision, and bias awareness. Track B: Leadership is for ages 12-14 and focuses on advanced analysis, AI auditing, policy reasoning, and ethical decision-making.

Question 7

How does the curriculum progress over six months?

Accepted Answer

Both tracks run a six-month sequence across 24 total sessions. Difficulty increases in phases: logic foundations, precision and systems thinking, bias detection, verification, and capstone leadership work.

Question 8

What is your teaching method?

Accepted Answer

Our method blends three pillars: System 2 activation (deliberate thinking), Socratic resistance (productive intellectual struggle), and cognitive endurance (sustained high-quality focus).

Question 9

How often are sessions, and how long are they?

Accepted Answer

Each cohort meets once per week for a 60-minute live session. Every cohort runs for 24 total sessions, with no more than six students per cohort.

Question 10

How is progress measured and reported to parents?

Accepted Answer

We use milestone assessments and progress reviews to measure growth in reasoning quality, bias detection, argument structure, and decision-making. Parents receive structured updates, not generic comments.

Question 11

How selective is admissions?

Accepted Answer

Admissions is selective. We prioritize readiness, curiosity, and commitment to serious thinking work. This keeps cohorts strong and learning quality high.

Question 12

What happens in the Cognitive Audit?

Accepted Answer

The audit is a structured conversation and challenge, not a memorization test. We evaluate reasoning style, clarity, attention, and intellectual coachability to recommend the right track and tier.

Question 13

How big are cohorts?

Accepted Answer

Cohorts are capped at six students. That allows live dialogue, direct instructor feedback, and tighter accountability for each student.

Question 14

Can parents speak with admissions before enrolling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parents can book a short fit call to discuss goals, schedule, and support level before making a commitment.

Question 15

When can my child start?

Accepted Answer

Admissions is rolling. Your child can start in the next available cohort after acceptance and enrollment alignment are complete.

Question 16

Where can I find current pricing?

Accepted Answer

The source of truth is the Tuition & Investment page. It includes current pricing, payment options, and what is included at each access level.

Question 17

Do pricing and structure differ by age track?

Accepted Answer

No. Foundations (ages 10-11) and Leadership (ages 12-14) use the same tuition framework. Cost differences are based on access level and support intensity, not age track.

Question 18

Do you offer payment plans or financial aid?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Payment plans and limited need-based support are available. Final options are confirmed during admissions.

Question 19

Why do families choose CogniGrit over other enrichment options?

Accepted Answer

Families choose CogniGrit for small cohorts, high instructor quality, and an explicit focus on thinking skill transfer. It is designed for parents seeking long-term cognitive development, not short-term test tactics.

Question 20

Is CogniGrit COPPA and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We follow COPPA requirements for children and GDPR requirements for applicable families, including consent, access rights, and deletion rights.

Question 21

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

Only instructional and account data needed to deliver the program: assessment records, progress data, and required communications. We do not collect unnecessary marketing or behavioral tracking data.

Question 22

Do you sell or monetize student data?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not sell, share, or monetize student data. Our Sovereign Data Guarantee is explicit: never sold, never shared, never monetized.

Question 23

Can parents access, export, or delete their child's data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parents can request access, export, correction, or deletion through official support channels. We process rights requests in line with privacy law obligations.

Question 24

How do you keep students safe in sessions?

Accepted Answer

We use small moderated cohorts, trained instructors, and clear conduct standards. Safety and respectful dialogue are non-negotiable in every session.

Question 25

Is CogniGrit online or in person?

Accepted Answer

Most programs are delivered live online with high interaction. If in-person options are available for a cohort, admissions will confirm details.

Question 26

What technology does my child need?

Accepted Answer

A stable internet connection, camera, microphone, and modern browser are usually enough. We share setup guidance before the first session.

Question 27

What happens if my child misses a session?

Accepted Answer

If a session is missed, we share a structured catch-up plan. We do not offer private replacement classes for missed sessions.

Question 28

How quickly do instructors respond to parent questions?

Accepted Answer

Parent communication is structured and responsive. For admissions, support, and privacy questions, we aim for clear and timely replies from the relevant team.

Question 29

Accepted Answer

Use admissions@cognigrit.com for program fit and enrollment, support@cognigrit.com for operational help, and privacy@cognigrit.com for data rights and privacy requests.
