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) 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.

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...

Before joining the school, I constantly...

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...
