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...

Hi Dhruv, can you tell us a bit about yourself?  I was born in a small town in India and spent my life before TGS growing up in Lesotho, Botswana, India, and Zambia.  Two years into my TGS journey, I now find it slightly ironic that I decided to apply amidst the chaos of COVID-19. I grew up as a curious child, constantly questioning why things are the way they...

1) Hi Mehdia, can you tell us a bit about yourself? Hi, I'm a space enthusiast, and to be honest, I think that's my entire personality. I'm a TGS-er and the founder of Afghan Youth Empowerment Camps. I was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, and left my country for the first time in 2021 to attend THINK Global School in Botswana. The idea of freedom of choice in education...

Hi Methini, can you tell us more about yourself? My name is Methini G. I was born and raised in a small town called Thanjavur, located in South India. In my society, people expect a girl my age to finish school and college in her nearby village, get married, give birth, and serve her family. It is not the expectation to go beyond that in life. I have always wanted...

I am also very passionate about the...

I grew up in a small town in the Alps, so I spent a lot of time outdoors hiking, skiing, or biking. I still love being outside and the adventures that often emerge from that. But, I also enjoy a calm day with a good...
