Before I came to TGS, most of what I learned was what I was told I had to learn. I enjoyed the lessons and the knowledge I gained, but they weren’t necessarily intrinsic.

Being able to choose what I learned through project-based learning was a really fresh experience that let me establish my interests and do what I’m good at, not just work based on school reports. I valued that autonomy.

THINK Global School exposed Chase to an approach to education greater than everything we imagined it to be. He grew so much, always asking insightful questions, understanding process and context, and working as part of a team.

The THINK Global School community is also wonderful and inspiring, with educators dedicated to the growth and success of each student. The bonds Chase forged with his peers and teachers, in both challenging and wonderful situations, will last a lifetime.

THINK Global School was life-changing for Paula. She found a home and a family that is truly spread out across the world. She developed a sense of belonging, community, and responsibility that is unusual for someone her age. She is concerned with world issues and wants to participate with positive input. She has taken responsibility for her education and understands that education is a lifelong ongoing task.

Many of these traits were natural to her, but at TGS, she learned to empower them. She feels at home, no matter where that is.

THINK Global School has supported my dreams and passions in a way I could previously have only dreamed of. As I am very interested in emerging technologies, pursuing an unconventional form of education has been very valuable as it’s given me the freedom and flexibility to learn and design. Through my personal projects, I’ve created things I never thought I could bring to reality, like machine learning products or brain-computer interfacing.

I consider TGS the most innovative school in the world, and despite it being a challenging educational program, I always find myself motivated to get work done. Joining TGS was the best decision I ever made.

My year and a half at THINK Global School was the biggest period of growth in my life, but what I found most valuable was learning to focus on the commonalities rather than differences between myself and the people around me. I realized just how much I share in common with people, no matter where we come from or what our life experiences are.

I had the extreme privilege of spending my last two years of high school connecting with the most incredible people from across the world, all of whom I can now call some of my closest friends, and I could not be more grateful.

Traditional schooling was smothering Justin and left him uninspired, uninterested, and unmotivated. THINK Global School was a game-changer and truly transformed him. He is engaged, inquisitive, determined, and ready to jump into life and all it has to offer wholeheartedly.

Project-based learning allowed Justin to explore many different areas and design his own approach to mastering each. Whether he follows his passions to become an entrepreneur, a coder, or a rapper, he has THINK Global School to thank for opening his eyes to a world of possibilities.

THINK Global School allowed my son to see global issues around the world, analyze research questions, and try to find solutions. As a result, he developed broader ways of thinking with references that are shaping his maturity, independence, and empathy to the problems around him, wherever he is.

THINK Global School not only changed our child’s life, but our entire family’s as well. As Jess traveled the world, we all grew with them as they became a confident, mature, and incredible human being.

THINK Global School nurtured our child and supported them throughout their three years, giving them experiences which otherwise they may never have had.

While sitting around the dinner table with Emma and Jonah a month or so ago, reminiscing about their TGS journey, we were truly mesmerized by their experiences and the gratitude we all felt for them having had the opportunity to attend THINK Global School.

Nothing, really nothing, compares or even comes close to what they learned while at THINK Global School.

One piece of advice for students considering joining THINK Global School: Go out there and experience the world! Don’t leave learning to just the classroom. Be open-minded, curious, and humble, but don’t forget that you also have something within you to share with the world. Enjoy the ride and take in all this world has to offer.
