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...

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...

While our CM1 students were down under in Melbourne, Australia, our CM2 students found themselves in a very different part of the world: Oman. The wadis, dunes, peaks, and beaches of this small seafaring nation pair nicely with the low-rise architecture of Muscat, Oman’s capital and our host city, providing the perfect environment for our students to explore Oman’s culture, history, and issues. Orientation Shortly after their arrival in Muscat,...

This fall our CM1 students traveled down under to Melbourne, Australia, for their term in one of the world’s most livable cities. Known for its dynamic art scene, ethnically diverse restaurants, and fervent love of all things sports, adding multicultural Melbourne to our travel calendar was a no-brainer. Best of all, visiting between the months of October and November promised springlike weather throughout the duration of our stay.  Viktoria L,...

Hi Paula, tell us more about yourself – What’s your age, home country, how long you’ve been at TGS, your interests, and school clubs you’ve joined.

We are all passionate and unique individuals who are seeking to learn the most from...

Under 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...

After wrapping up their 2018-19 school year in Greece and spending some well-deserved time at home with their family and friends, our CM2 students headed off to China for the first term of their 2019-20 school year. This marked our CM2 students’ third time living and learning in Asia, following terms the previous year in India and Japan. During those terms, our CM2 students had the opportunity to work on modules...
