2020 has been a year marked by change, both for the world and THINK Global School as an institution. Covid-19 has disrupted schools in every country, with THINK Global School being no exception. Opportunities for our students to learn firsthand in Greece, Botswana, and Bosnia & Herzegovina have all been replaced with online projects, and remote learning will continue to occur until the world is safe for our staff and...

This spring, with travel to Greece not an option due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our CM1 students shifted to online learning to close out the school year. All students participated in a project-based learning module titled "Creativity in the Time of COVID-19," which called on them to answer the following driving question: How might I grow my creativity during the COVID-19 crisis through exploring the science of creativity and innovation and...

After six years circling the world as THINK Global School's Head of School, Jamie Steckart intends to return to his native Wisconsin for the foreseeable future. He plans on spending that time with his wife Angie and their three children: Charlotte, Finn, and Piper. "My family has been living abroad for over eight years now, and it's been nine years for myself. In that time, I have made many new...

Chris Peterson is father to Class of 2020 Graduate Chase Peterson, a native of California's Bay Area who lived and learned in eight countries during his two years with THINK Global School’s CM2 cohort.  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...

1) 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...

1) 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...

The hike was so fulfilling and I felt a lot during different times of the hike. I felt joy, pain, satisfaction, helplessness, and a whole range of emotions. -Class of 2021 Student Vansh C. Our Chile term centered around The THINK Global Leadership Expedition, a twelve-day backpacking expedition in the sparse and ruggedly beautiful region of Patagonia. The expedition was designed to enhance our students’ leadership and teamwork skills in an...

Hi Liam! Can you tell us more about yourself. I live in New York City, but growing up, I spent my time both upstate in a small town while also attending school in the city. I went to an arts-based school where I found a love for dance and pottery. Even today, I love to create things with my hands, and when not creating things, I always have something to...

You can find more spotlights like Gigi’s on The Chameleon, a website aimed at connecting our community with the outside world through a variety of student-created content. Hi Gigi! Can you tell us more about yourself My name is Gigi E., short for Angelina. I was born in the Bay Area, California. When I turned seven years old, my family decided to move to the Philippines, and we’ve been here...

Recently our Changemaker Cohort 2 (CM2) students completed their term in Panama, one of Latin America’s most strategically important countries. The visit marked our first term in Panama (we’ve visited its neighbor Costa Rica twice) and given the positive reception it received from students, it certainly shouldn’t be our last. Long a crossroads for culture and business due to the canal that runs through it, Panama made perfect sense as...
