AT ONE POINT IN MY CHILDHOOD, I wanted to be a dolphin. With the recent popularity of places such as SeaWorld, I had constantly seen them blasted around TV, and I thought they were majestic. Little did I know, however, that these places which looked so magical to me in my childhood, were the source of so much destruction to dolphins. Ric O’Barry, perhaps the world’s most well known dolphin...

MUSEUMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD pay tribute to our ancestors through grandiose oil paintings and intricate family trees replete with branches. Barring a handful of exceptions, every member of our global society can trace their genealogy back at least one generation, and often times many more. Given the traveling concept of THINK Global School, the opportunity for a special moment to arise is ever-present. This held true during our recently completed...

Since the inception of Wrists for Rights, our overarching goal has been to leave a self-sustaining footprint on the communities that THINK Global School visits during the school year. Recently we received word that our actions had resulted in just that, and the feeling of joy for those that have benefited from our actions is hard to contain. We received the following letter from Mickey Choothesa, the Executive Director for...

With only a little bit of flour, cornflakes, condensed milk, chocolate, oatmeal, apple, and honey, Hannah, Alice, and Maya, three of TGS's most talented bakers, whipped up amazing delicacies. In two hours, chocolate muffins, apple crumble, caramelized apples, brownies, and chocolate cake appeared on the plates. Hannah reflected: Even though we were lacking in some of the major ingredients, it was okay because we were doing it for a cause....

This is where the students have free creative reign to make what they want to make. This is a place where we remember the past, cherish the present, and look ahead. What more can be said?

LIFE AT THINK GLOBAL SCHOOL CAN BE HECTIC, with students balancing classes, exercise, socializing, and many more activities into each day. A busy schedule doesn't mean that the students can't be lighthearted and have fun though, as 10th grader Hannah demonstrates in our newest Student Showcase. Originally submitted as a project for her 9th grade Mandarin class, Hannah uses the Chinese language (with English subtitles) to guide us through a...

THINK GLOBAL SCHOOL RECENTLY COMPLETED THEIR FIRST EVER AMAZING RACE: a journey that saw students competing in a series of team-based puzzles and challenges as they made their way across Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Austria. During the course of this adventure, Swedish student Maya kept her video camera recording perpetually. As a result, every detail ranging from the mundane to awe-inspiring was caught on tape. Our newest student...

"The children are our future." A'ntonia said, her eyes staring off, distant. "If we don't start educating and preparing our children, whether they're black, white, or yellow, we would only be ruining our future." In many places, like Israel and North Korea, children are stripped of their rights. These include the right to play and the freedom of expression. One of those deprived children might be the one with the...

Stemming from two of the school's core values (thoughtfulness and synergy), students are encouraged through the TGS newMedia Lab to share and reflect their experiences with the world. In this video, grade 10 student Charis from Thailand documents her time in Bavaria, complete with endearing webcam commentary.

Grade 9 student Isaac continues to explore new techniques in graphic design to illustrate his experiences with TGS. Using one of his photographs and text written at the summit, he designed this graphic image to commemorate a reflective moment atop Mt. Wank in Bavaria, Germany. See more of Isaac's graphic designs on his blog.
