He plans on spending that time with his wife Angie and their three children: Charlotte, Finn, and Piper.

Hi Chris, can you share how you and your family arrived at the decision for Chase to attend THINK Global School? I don't think a parent can choose TGS for their child. TGS is so completely...
Read More1) Hi Liam, can you tell us what you’ve been up to since graduating THINK Global School? I decided while in my senior year at TGS that I was not going to pursue a university education right out of the gate. I couldn’t remember a time not being at school, and I wanted to experience a side of life where the schedule was completely determined by me. I went back...
Read More1) Hi Samaya, can you tell us what you’ve been up to since graduating in 2017? It’s strange to think that I’ve been away from TGS for three years already. After moving around so much with TGS it did take a bit of adjusting to settle into one place, but I’ve now made London a home. I’m in the final year of my undergraduate law degree at King’s College London...

Hi, I’m Paula Marquina Gurrea from Querétaro, México. I’m 18 years old, currently in the middle of my senior year, and I joined THINK Global School in July 2017.

Read MoreUnder most traditional curricula, students are rarely given the chance to explore the topics they are truly passionate about, instead focusing on concepts that have been deemed worthwhile by a governing body. This top-down approach to learning comes at a price: by the time most students reach high school age, they have become increasingly disengaged compared to their earlier years. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if...

Read MoreFollowing their ten day Rite of Passage in Northern England, our new students joined returning CM1 students in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, for the first term of the 2019-20 school year. During their time in BiH, students lived in the heart of Sarajevo’s Old Town, Baščaršija. One of Europe’s best kept secrets (although that secret is getting out), Sarajevo is always popular with our students, and they enjoyed finding chic...
Read MoreEach term at THINK Global School is an opportunity for our students to explore a new part of the world and learn firsthand about the social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors that define it. Most recently, our students wrapped up terms in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Changemaker Cohort 1) and China (Changemaker Cohort 2), the first of four countries they’ll live in over the course of the 2019-20 school year. Rather...
