Launched in 2004, Cognita is an extraordinary community of diverse yet connected schools, spanning sixteen different countries. We share one common purpose: to deliver an outstanding holistic education that will enable our students to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. With over 100 schools in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East and India and North America, we employ 15,000 teaching and support staff in the care and education of more than 85,000 students.
Our schools provide a truly holistic education based on rich and varied experiences that focus on social, emotional, physical and cognitive learning. This results in excellent academic outcomes for our students, who are also equipped with the agency, adaptability and positive attitudes to set them up for success in our fast changing world.
Self-assured, resilient and empowered to succeed. These principles represent our ambition for every child in our Cognita community. Our uncompromising culture of care ensures the safety and wellbeing of all children is at the heart of every Cognita school. This includes the security of our learning environments, the emotional wellbeing of our students, the rigorous vetting of our staff, and robust policies, procedures and training in child safeguarding.
Every Cognita school has an independently chaired safeguarding committee and we continually monitor and assess all of our schools to ensure we go above and beyond what is required by regulators.
