Our Mission

THINK Global School challenges learners, through firsthand experiences of global travel, to become compassionate individuals who are curious and knowledgeable about the world and motivated to affect meaningful change.

To guide us on our journey and help us achieve our goals, we follow a set of core values and promises gathered from nations around the world.

Our Core Values

Just as our travels shape our experiences and opinions, we’ve also looked toward other cultures to shape the core values that form the foundation of our educational philosophy. In all aspects of living and learning, we value:

Compassion
Consider others’ needs and challenges with heartfelt curiosity and a genuine desire to offer support and kindness.

Humility
Know your gifts but do not let them define you. Use them in service, with respect and dignity for all beings.

Love
Love of Self, Friendship Love, Love for all.

Sisu (Finnish)
Extraordinary determination and resilience in the face of adversity.

改善 Kaizen (Japanese)
Continually improve – be self-aware, responsible, and disciplined.

Meraki (Greek)
Put all of yourself – your soul, creativity and love – into your work.

Pixki “The Guardian” (Náhuatl)
Modifying your actions to protect the environment while adopting a more sustainable lifestyle.

求知欲 Qiú Zhi Yù (Mandarin)
Thirst for knowledge – be open, be curious, and challenge assumptions.

Satya (Sanskrit)
Live truth – in a way that is honest, steadfast, and uplifting to others.

Ubuntu (Zulu)
Connect to a greater whole – in mutual support and community.

The TGS core values I associate most with are meraki and kaizen. Whatever you do in your life, put all of your passion and yourself into it.
