The following post was written by newMedia instructor Lindsay Clark as an introduction to our upcoming senior trip in Kenya and Tanzania, where our 12th grade students and a handful of staff and faculty members will attempt to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro. The journey our grade 12s have been on for the last two to four years has been impressive in magnitude, mercurial in tone, and expansive in breadth. Little moments...

As increasingly ruthless scenarios play out around the world between dictators and civilians, it becomes difficult to imagine that any country could arrive at democracy without a complicated revolt. Yet in 2008 Bhutan's king, Jigme Wanghuck, accomplished such a feat when he ceded absolute control in favor of the implementation of constitutional democracy. Since then, Bhutan has undergone two parliamentary elections, with the most recent occurring in the summer of...

Yada and her classmates pose during their first term at THINK Global School (2010) The glass breaks, and all that is left are splinters. The world, everything really, is a carefully constructed glass dome where the laws of gravity apply. The "TGS Bubble" is sometimes taken metaphorically, but in many cases we are in a bubble.

"Nothing is impossible when you appeal to the human soul with genuine cause" -Urmi Basu Over the last two years, events have transpired in India that have raised alarming questions about life for the women living here.

Author's note: A little experimentation with stream of consciousness, and putting everything I have learned throughout the last three months living in Hiroshima into words. I came to this city with naïve opinions and assumptions, and they have been turned on upside down and rightside up again. Did my moral values change? Maybe. Am I still confused? You bet I am. But hey, it's all a learning curve. Red  ...

  I saw fragments of people hovering between life and death I saw human canvas painted with black glistening bits and pieces of the charred human suit fell to the burning ground revealing everything underneath every thought every hope every dream every love every loss every hurt no longer protected by the melting mask enveloped by the never-ending fire it was beautiful like a distant star dying like cancer under...

Let's face it: finding spare time in this day and age is no easy task; we all have things that we need or want to be doing. Take the life of a student as an example: each day they must attend class, socialize, exercise, and complete their homework -- not to mention somehow fitting in time to eat, shower and hopefully relax before going to sleep. Despite this hectic onslaught...

As I write this, I'm waiting for our students to return from their weXplore, a five-day excursion that takes students beyond their host city for immersive cultural experiences.

Picture this: Across the vast landscapes of Botswana, elephant families gather at watering holes after months of separate journeys. Some have traveled familiar paths, while others arrive for the first time, tentative but curious. In these moments of convergence, something beautiful happens. Individual stories merge into collective wisdom, creating bonds that will sustain them through the seasons ahead. This month, we find ourselves in a remarkably similar moment as we...

Tattoos have an extensive history in Japan, and to truly understand the stigma behind them it is essential to be aware of their significance. The first records of tattoos...

Greetings TGS, Long time reader, first time blogger here. Some of you may have noticed that I can be a little patriotic... My friends in Abu Dhabi used to joke that New Zealand has "small country" syndrome because it is always determined to be the best. I think like the Canadians, we are determined not to be seen as the same as our more populated neighbours. With that in mind...
