("Meet Me in Dreamland" will play after the teaser) One of the key benefits to an education based on travel is the crash course on local social, political, economic, and environmental issues offered in each country we visit. At least once per term, however, a local hot-button topic ends up dominating international headlines:  Greece’s financial crisis and the calls for a “Grexit" while we were in Athens; the Boston Marathon...

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.
