India, we have arrived. After a long journey, some lost luggage and jet lag, I am pleased to announce that we have arrived safely at the Indus International School in Hyderabad. Excitement and anxiety fill the air as we jump in feet first and embark on this incredible journey. That being said, a journey would not be complete if it did not involve a wave of arrivals spanning twenty-four hours, a few...

Under the supervision of our...

With our 2012-13 school year sadly drawing towards its end, we can now gleefully reminisce on all that our students and faculty accomplished as they made their way across three continents. Our academic adventure began in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and to commemorate his experiences in the "Paris of the South," Global Studies teacher Nick Martino recently launched an iTunes U course entitled "Understanding the Argentine Identity." Understanding the Argentine Identity...

The following opinion piece was written by Global Studies teacher Nick Martino and originally appeared on his blog Defenders of Ma'at. Why was 9/11 so important in the psyche of Americans, specifically New Yorkers?   We don’t get attacked. We attack others. We rarely lose. Wars aren’t fought on our home turf. We don’t live in fear.   Former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, stated, “Freedom from...

My goal for our visit to the USS Massachusetts was to use it as a weXplore trip that would benefit all TGS students. Students in Mr. Cailey's IB History class, for instance, have been studying war strategies used in World War II, so getting a chance to spend the night aboard a battleship that was involved in the Allied Island Hopping Campaign would be a perfect opportunity to further their...

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.
