1) Hi Nada, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating from THINK Global School in 2022? Since graduating in 2022, I've been pursuing a passion I found while at TGS, sustainability, and I am currently majoring in engineering in renewable energy systems at Al Akhawayn University, in Ifrane, Morocco. But there is way more than that! I've had a chance also to explore the world of...

With our 2024-25 school year just a couple of weeks away, we want to share details on what Class of '24 Graduate Andrea Claudia Diaz Gutierrez will be up to during that time. During her gap year, Andrea will focus on a project she launched at TGS: Foodstainable. Shocked by reports that half of Peru's food is wasted, Andrea founded Foodstainable to turn food waste into dog food. This year,...

I have officially graduated from college! *Cue victory lap and loan repayment plan!* There’s no doubt that the past four years have given way to a winding and retrospectively enriching journey. In that time, I have gained a wealth of knowledge—from the nuances of international conflict to the philosophical commentaries of Kant and Nietzsche, to visionary frameworks of tomorrow’s metropolises. Yet, after all this time, the one thing I cannot...

1) How has being part of a diverse community influenced your understanding of different cultures? Being at TGS has allowed me to learn about the cultures of the countries we visit, but also the different cultures of my fellow peers. Without TGS, my life and understanding of global perspectives would be drastically different and not as diverse as they are now. Since being at TGS, I have had the privilege...

1) How has being part of a diverse and international community influenced your understanding of different cultures and perspectives? Being part of such an incredible community has allowed me to explore parts of my identity I didn’t know I had and become fully confident in who I am and what I stand for. All the experiences and people who have been alongside me on this journey have expanded my vision...

1) In what ways has your perception of traditional education changed since attending THINK Global School? Joining TGS was probably one of the most random decisions I made, but also one of the best. TGS has changed my view on education completely. Sitting in a classroom and listening to a lecture for hours was not the best fit for me, and my education had to expand beyond those four walls....

1) What advice would you give to prospective TGS students? As cliché as it may seem, my number one piece of advice for students about to join TGS is to be curious. Be curious to challenge your beliefs, be curious to explore who you are in the context of the world, and be curious to explore all the different ways you can learn. Traveling and learning at TGS will definitely...

1) How do you think your education at TGS has prepared you for the future? When I look back atmy journey, I couldn't be more proud and grateful for the person I am today. TGS has provided experiences that have helped me mature, become more responsible, and be ready to face future challenges. The biggest lesson I take from my time here is self-awareness. Before joining the school, I constantly...

1) Hi Amelie, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating from THINK Global School in 2020? Since graduating, I moved to Portland, Oregon, where I'm currently wrapping up a degree in biochemistry and molecular biology at Reed College. Some highlights of the last four years include earning my nuclear reactor operator's license, conducting microbiological field work at Glacier National Park in Montana, and spending a year...

A native of Norway 🇳🇴 and now a resident of Vietnam 🇻🇳, Class of '24 Student Sigurd R. will soon head to Greece 🇬🇷 for his final term at THINK Global School before he crosses the stage at graduation. Since joining TGS in 2022, Sigurd has seized the opportunity to immerse himself in the cultures of Botswana, India, South Korea, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Australia, Japan, and Greece, gaining valuable insights...
