Cognosia’s After School Programs

For the 1st time in India, Cognosia introduces a unique and versatile problem that focuses on developing fundamental cognitive skills that form the very foundation of what we view as academic and professional achievement. Research has proven time and again that fundamental cognitive skills are critically important for school and “life” performance – but more importantly, these skills are trainable and training these foundational skills can lead to a improvements in academic and other achievement. Cognosia’s programs, based on proven principles in Neuroscience and Learning theory, are multi-modal in nature and seek to combine classroom instruction, science based computer games with workshops and social cognitive activities.

Structure of the programs

Classes are held weekdays after school (5 PM – 7 PM) or on weekends through the day (10:30 AM – 12:30 PM, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM, 5 PM – 7 PM). Classes are typically 2 hours – which includes 1 hour of a Core Cognition Module and 1 hour of Science Based Games along with Social Cognitive Activities.

There are several different courses (Core Cognition Modules) to choose from. Please click here to see details about all available modules. The modules vary in length and each module is associated with a workshop that trains students on a practical application of the core cognitive skill that is trained (e.g. The course on Logical Reasoning is associated with an Art of Debate workshop). Based on the Cognitive Profile conducted prior to the test, our counselors can guide you on the modules that would make the sense for your child based on his or her unique strengths and opportunity areas.

A student can choose to attend 1 or 2 sessions per week. Typically, students attend only one session of any given course in a week. So, students that choose to take 2 sessions per week would have chosen 2 different courses.

Our batch sizes are small and range from 5-10. We provide children with laptops for the 2nd hour of the session, where they play Cognosia’s science based games.

What can you expect from the program

Based on cutting edge science in this area, our programs have been proven to improve core cognitive skills that are critical not just for academic success but also for several other real life outcomes including the ability to focus, counter distractions and reduce impulsivity. Our faculty members are well-trained and are experts in their respective areas.

After the program, you can expect your child to be a better learner in general – with a greater ability to focus and counter distractions, but also with a greater awareness of his or her own unique strengths/opportunity areas and style of learning. The program will help your child build connections between different forms of learning and deepen his or her learning.
