After spending their first two terms of the 2021-22 school year in the United Arab Emirates, our CM2 students had the opportunity to travel to one of Mexico's most colorful states, Oaxaca, for Term Three. Renowned for its cultural, artistic, and culinary legacies, Oaxaca has become one of Mexico's most visited states for those looking to experience indigenous cultures. This focus on culture was a primary factor in our selecting...

Following terms in Botswana and Oaxaca, Mexico, our Changemaker Cohort 1 students had the opportunity to live and learn in a decidedly more cosmopolitan country for Term 3: The United Arab Emirates.

Hi Effie, can you tell us a bit about yourself? I was born in China during the one-child policy and adopted into a Finnish-English family. I spent a lot of my childhood traveling between South America and Europe before settling in Finland to complete my primary education. I have a particular interest in literature and studying cultures. However, nothing beats a good time with a few good friends having a...

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...

These philosophies are drawn from countries across the world and inform every aspect of a TGS education. A key consideration to understanding core values at THINK Global School is our belief that they are not...

For my personal projects, I enjoy experimenting with different aspects of filmmaking, including creating...

Our recent CM2 fall term, which took place between October and December in Dubai, was a memorable one for students as it coincided with Expo 2020.

The purpose of Expo 2020 is to serve as a "global gathering to share ideas, showcase innovation,...

¡Saludos desde México! This fall, CM1 became the first TGS cohort to visit Mexico for a term. The decision to visit Mexico was strategic given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Visas were readily available to most of our students, meaning fewer students would need to conduct the term remotely. Additionally, the country's moderate climate meant that our students could routinely spend time learning and socializing outdoors.  The pleasant climate, coupled with...

With the first term of the 2021-22 school year officially in the books, we asked our CM1 students to share their thoughts regarding their time in Botswana. You can find their reflections below and a comprehensive overview of our Botswana term here. Rite of Passage "So many things happened here in Botswana, and so many more things were learned from the people and the places around us. Personally, I was...

I learned a lot during my first term at TGS, especially how to communicate effectively with the limited resources you have. The module I participated in exposed me to many things, whether it be learning or bonding with people. Most importantly, this term reinforced the fact that my decision to come to TGS was the right one. -Class of 2023 Student Aarushi A. As a traveling high school, we are...
