What does it take to help students feel at home somewhere unfamiliar while encouraging them to look a little closer? During our Malaysia term, in-country coordinator Jonathan Koh helped make those connections, bringing students into the everyday life of Sabah and supporting them as they found their footing. For Jonathan, who also runs Borneo Sandakan Tours, the goal went beyond introducing students to beautiful places. He wanted them to listen...

Victor Antony ’17 and Andrés de la Sierra Renier ’18 first met as students at TGS. Years later, their friendship has grown into a shared venture combining Victor’s background in computer science and robotics with Andrés’s experience in public policy, philanthropy, and nonprofit work. Now living and working together in Baltimore, they are listening to educators, administrators, and families as they explore how social robots could thoughtfully support young readers...

As the Director of Admissions at THINK Global School, I get asked this question almost every day. Often people want to know if there is a secret formula that will guarantee admission to TGS. Yet part of what makes TGS such a unique place is that there is no secret formula; there is no “perfect” student. Each student brings something completely unique, specific, and special to the school.

Imagine hiking for one and a half hours under a blazing hot sun in a completely unfamiliar environment, surrounded by a rainforest so dense that every step feels like entering a new world. Your eyes are glued to bizarre plants and colorful insects you've never seen before. You sweat through every layer of your clothes, finally reach camp, and hit the sudden realization: your phone is locked hours away, your...

Research is increasingly putting evidence behind something we instinctively understand: people flourish when they feel they belong.

Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program reflects this broader view, placing community, close relationships, and shared meaning at the heart of a flourishing life. In other words, flourishing is not simply an individual pursuit, it happens in...

By the final years of high school, something begins to change. For many students, curiosity gives way to routine. Learning becomes increasingly focused on completing assignments, preparing for exams, and earning grades. The sense of wonder that comes so naturally in childhood (remember that feeling?) can slowly be replaced by simply getting through the next semester. Recent research highlights some of the challenges students face in today's classrooms. According to...

As we mark the end of another remarkable school year, I find myself reflecting on what an extraordinary privilege it has been to serve as Principal of THINK Global School. When I stepped into this role, I was immediately struck by the warmth of the community. From my very first days, I felt welcomed, supported, and embraced by its students, families, staff, alums, and Board. And for that, I am...

As I step into the role of Director of Admissions at THINK Global School, I want to share a piece of my transition that has helped me see for myself what makes TGS so special. I have been incredibly fortunate in my transition to benefit from the wisdom and mentorship of Melanie Anderson, who has been with the TGS Admissions team since 2013, and who is now about to take...

As our final students departed in the early hours of the morning, a sense of both completion and gratitude settled in. The past seven weeks in Mumbai have been as full as they have been formative, and before we turn the page, we want to take a moment to reflect. For families around the world, this break offers time to reconnect and to hear the stories that don’t always make...
