As her senior year comes to a close, Sally S. 🇬🇧 shares thoughts on her time at TGS, including the invaluable life skills she's learned, how cultures aren't just found in the places we call home, and her advice for prospective TGS students. 1) How has being part of a diverse and international community influenced your understanding of different cultures and perspectives? TGS is more than the countries we go...

1) How has being part of a diverse and international community influenced your understanding of different cultures and perspectives? Being part of a diverse and international community experience opened my eyes to the many different ways to live a life. There's no one "right way," and there is so much to learn from everyone and everything around you. It's allowed me to better understand different people, the world, and myself...

1) In what ways has your perception of traditional education changed since attending THINK Global School? If I were to have stayed in New Zealand, I would have told you that my school taught me maths, history, and how to take a test every month. However, here I can tell you that my school taught me how to live, operate independently, adapt to change, constantly push myself to be a...

1) In what ways has your perception of traditional education changed since attending THINK Global School? Before TGS, I was in a very traditional educational system. Even though it was rewarding for some people, it never worked for me and I felt out of control with my learning. I never felt like I was being prepared for the real world, which was the whole point of education to me. Coming...

1) How has being part of a diverse and international community influenced your understanding of different cultures and perspectives? I first applied to TGS to seek an escape from my traditional learning, hoping for a more engaging educational environment and, of course, the appeal of traveling the world. In these past two years, TGS has given me that and so much more. Enrolling in TGS granted me the privilege of...

While in Australia, we had the chance to catch up with Cameron Shetler, a Class of 2016 graduate now studying medicine at the University of Melbourne. Cameron generously shared her post-TGS journey and insights with our current students, and you can read more about her life path, advice, and favorite memories below. 1) Hi Cameron, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating from THINK Global School...

Hi Paula, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating in 2018? Right after graduation, I took a short backpacking trip around Europe. I knew I would start university in September and wanted to squeeze in one last travel adventure. It was interesting to experience the transition from "school travelling," where things were usually planned for us and safety was a priority, to "solo travelling," where nobody...

Hi Elliot, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduation? Our academic years start in February, so after graduating, I lived with my family for eight months, working fast food full-time and organizing a final iteration of the Traveling Shorts Film Festival (a yearly film festival held at TGS), as I wasn't quite ready to let that go as a TGS institution. Then in 2019, I started...
