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 more inclined towards the biodiversity and nature aspect of the term, especially the Rite of Passage and the weXplore, but everything was absolutely amazing! -Class of 2023 Student Camille A. A new school year is always an exciting affair, but the start of our 2021-22...

1. Hi Maxim. It's been two years now since you graduated from THINK Global School. What have you been up to in that time?  Since graduating from TGS, I have been attending the University of Toronto studying mineral (mining) engineering.

Another school year has concluded at THINK Global School, and it is safe to say this was truly a year unlike any other.

Another school year is coming to a close at THINK Global School, which means graduation is right around the corner for the Class of 2021.

This post sheds light on some of our CM1 cohort's highlights (more on what cohorts mean here), including a look at our favorite outcomes from the Mind and Body...

Let’s start things off with a question: When planning a vacation, do you opt for a trip where every aspect is meticulously planned? For example, do you only feel comfortable when there is a set amount of time for each activity -- an hour here for lunch, two hours here for a modern museum, perhaps an hour for the botanical gardens before arriving at your all-important dinner reservation? Or, on...

Another term is officially in the books here at THINK Global School.

They continue to put forth quality projects for our students to participate in and arrange light-hearted online events as a means to socialize. In the future, when we...

Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging. - Joseph Campbell Another term is officially in the books here at THINK Global School.

With travel at THINK Global School postponed due to the pandemic, all of our students are working remotely for their second term of the school year. Thanks to our curriculum's flexible nature, however, the quality of virtual learning taking place is consistent with if students were participating on projects in-country. The main difference being that the driving questions and content behind this term's projects have been modified to better suit...
