We had the good fortune to be in Stockholm, Sweden, during Nobel Week late last year, which meant that laureate hopefuls from all over the world descended on our host city in hopes of claiming the top prize in one of the following fields: Physics Chemistry Physiology or medicine Literature Economic sciences The promotion of peace During the month of December, our students worked diligently in their humanities classes to research...

Each term at THINK Global School includes at least one extended weXplore adventure. It's a chance for our students to venture outside of their host city -and sometimes their comfort zone- to truly experience the local culture. Our Sweden term was no different, and after embarking on an eighteen-hour train ride, our students found themselves in one of the most secluded and beautiful places on earth: the Arctic Circle. Enjoy...

Recently our students had the opportunity to embark on a distinctly Swedish adventure, complete with dog-sledding, cross-country skiing, and a look into the culture of the Sami people who have called northern Sweden home for centuries. But before that monumental trip, our students had the opportunity to visit a culture where bulldogs are celebrated instead of sled dogs, and people are more likely to play cricket than go skiing. I’m...

This past weekend, 10 of our students joined 1,000 other political-minded teenagers from around the world in visiting The International School of The Hague to participate in its 25th annual Model United Nations (MUN). As the home of The International Court of Justice, The Hague is a city synonymous with peace and equality, making it the ideal setting for this year’s theme of ‘good governance and cooperation.’ For those unfamiliar...

"The Pursuit of Adventure" was originally created as a project for Elliot’s Grade 9 humanities class, which combines elements of English, global studies, and visual arts into an integrated lesson plan. During our term in Athens, Greece, Elliot and...

If there is one thing our students all share in common, it’s that they really, really love scavenger hunts. Whether meandering through the side streets of Tokyo looking for their next epic clue or rummaging through the library of our host school, they are guaranteed to be all in. (Geocaching, likewise, has also been embraced with extreme enthusiasm. If you aren’t familiar with this global phenomenon, we highly recommend you...
