To celebrate THINK Global School’s 2015 term in Athens, Greece, we’ve compiled seven interesting facts about this fascinating country. We really enjoyed our three months living and learning in Greece, and hope you find these facts useful!   Fact #1: Some of Greece’s olive trees are over 3,000 years old Personally, I marvel at the massive 300 year old trees in my neighborhood, but compared to Greece’s 2,000 year old...

On Saturday, April 18th, 2015, our ninth, tenth, and twelfth grade students embarked on their first weXplore trip of their Greece term: a visit to Delphi, a UNESCO World Heritage site containing well-preserved ruins steeped in mythological history. Throughout the course of the day they’ll have the chance to explore the Temple of Apollo, the Delphi Archaeological Museum, and the 5,000 seat Delphi theater, a limestone marvel that offers panoramic...

Students helping Honduras At the beginning of my March 2015 trip to Honduras, I had a chance to sit through Shin Fujiyama’s opening speech to an incoming group of student volunteers from Clemson, Stony Brook, University of Maryland, and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I’ve heard versions of this talk several times before when I’ve brought groups of high school students down to volunteer at Villa Soleada and El Progreso....

I couldn’t possibly tell every story at TGS; not only would the sheer number be insurmountable, but those stories shouldn’t all come from my perspective. All I can do is watch, ask, and imagine how people experience the moments we share together. My first international trip was to Italy when I was 16. I lived in a convent and explored a hill town in Umbria, expressing my thoughts daily through...

Though this won’t be our first class of 12th graders to graduate, this will be our first graduating class to contain students who have completed the two-year IB Visual Arts course. Those five students --Isaac, Liisa, Melissa, Alejandro, and Julia-- produced forty pieces of artwork that were featured in our Grade 12 art exhibition this week in Monteverde, Costa Rica. The pieces span an impressive range of mediums, including digital...

During the Winter Term of THINK Global School’s 2014-15 school year, the 9th and 10th grade students spent 34 days exploring Costa Rica. As they made their way across this Central American paradise, they spent time living with local families; studied primates and dolphins; immersed themselves within rainforests; whitewater rafted down rivers; and studied marine biology on pristine beaches. Head of School Jamie Steckart joined Team Omega for a ten-day...

As the first term of our 2014-15 school year recently wound to a close in New Zealand, I looked through the student survey responses for my course and remembered one of my opening statements to the ninth and tenth grade students: “We run an educational model that is complicated but impressively different than most schools around the world. In order to set the foundation for optimal learning at our unique...

  Hola from Costa Rica! We’re now a week and a half into the second term of our 2014-15 school year, and positive vibes are the order of the day. Our upper classes have made the UGA Costa Rica campus their home for the next couple of months to focus on their International Baccalaureate coursework. Our ninth and tenth grade classes, on the other hand, have the distinction of having...

    New Zealand’s diverse terrain is an unparalleled playground for the wild at heart, and many of its 4 million residents crave the thrills that come with mountain biking, kayaking, bungee jumping, and zorbing (rolling down mountains and hills in a giant inflated hamster ball for those of us living on flat land). Spanish teacher Sam Nelson and his grade 11 students decided to embrace the spirit of adventure...

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. For the past two months, we as a school have called Maun, Botswana, our home. It's a small town on the edge of the Okavango Delta and, for many travelers, a doorway into Africa. But Maun is only one perspective, and it...

There's something profound about witnessing the Nxai Pan migration in person. Thousands of zebras moving together across vast landscapes, accompanied by wildebeest, all drawn forward by instinct, survival, and shared momentum. For our team at THINK Global School, this wasn't just a spectacular wildlife viewing. It became a profound lesson in how we approach education. A Different Kind of Classroom Botswana is a place that invites attention. From the dusty...

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...

Kali, who joined TGS from Kenya in 2023, has had incredible experiences alongside her classmates across seven (soon to be eight 🇮🇹) countries over the last two years. From scuba diving in Australia to experiencing Tet in Vietnam, Kali has seen the world, learned from its inhabitants, and gained perspectives that we hope will inform her for years to come. To close out her TGS career, Kali is putting together...

Tattooing is the most misunderstood art form in Japan today. Looked down upon for centuries and rarely discussed in social circles, people with tattoos are outcasts in this country, banned from most public spaces such as beaches, bathhouses, and even gyms. 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...
