THINK Global School - The World’s First Traveling High School

1. Identify the Student Exchange Programme.

 Think Global School.

2. Where is it located (specific country/worldwide)?

“Each year at THINK Global School is an opportunity to live and learn in
four new countries, and as you travel the world, you’ll gain an intimate
understanding of the cultures and communities that surround you.”

“Why Here? Why Now?

How do we choose where to go? It’s a delicate balance of climate and
local ecosystems, transportation and cuisines, and of course regional
security. You’ll typically visit each country when the weather is most
welcoming and there are plenty of cultural events, ensuring you’ll be
comfortable and engaged for the duration of your stay. And whether in
Botswana, China, or Peru, you’ll always be surrounded by friendly
teachers and classmates ready to discuss the rituals and institutions that
shape the local culture.”

3. What type of courses and activities does it provide?

“Only at Think Global School does world exploration meet an
academically rigorous curriculum with small classes, cutting edge
technology, and infinite opportunities to pursue your passions.”

“By living and learning in a new country each term for four terms a year,
you’ll connect your education to your environment in ways you never
thought possible: by studying biology in four diverse environments a year,
reading authors in their native lands, or discussing philosophy where the
very concept of philosophy was born. If you’re a lean-forward learner who
never stops asking questions, this is your chance to soar.”

“At Think Global School, you don’t just learn about the world – you
learn in it. By studying in four countries a year you’re immersed in more
history, geography, and culture in high school than most people
experience in a lifetime. Your travels and education blend seamlessly,
creating an active and engaged learning experience unprecedented in any
other school.”

“What Sets Think Global School Apart?

A Think Global School education combines an academically rigorous
project-based learning curriculum, a competitive 4:1 student/faculty ratio,
student-driven and technology-forward teaching philosophies, and
integrated service learning to create a 360º educational experience that’s
never limited to the classroom. Here, you’ll not only become an
exceptional college candidate but also a true game-changer: someone who
understands how the world works and has the courage and compassion to
make it a better place.”

“At Think Global School, we’ve based our curriculum on the most
effective educational models from around the world. We’re inspired by
great pedagogical thinkers including Kurt Hahn, John Dewey, Sir Ken
Robinson, Paulo Friere, Sugata Mitra, Reggio Emilia, John Holt, John
Taylor Gotto, and Daniel Pink. Although they each bring different
viewpoints to the table, their philosophies all boil down to the same idea:
teach to individual students, giving them the tools and environments they
need to succeed.”

“We believe in hiring the best teachers, giving them the freedom to design
the most effective learning modules, and trusting students to guide their
own education. The result? Students who don’t just excel academically,
but enter the world with passion, curiosity, and a genuine love of
learning.”

“What happens when you build your curriculum around students instead
of the other way around? You get learners who are active, engaged,
curious, and driven…and outperform their traditionally-educated peers on
global academic performance exams regardless of socioeconomic factors.
It’s not enough for you to simply understand the world. We want to equip
you with the tools to make a difference, as well as the drive to do so.
Every aspect of your education is designed to help you make sense of the
cultural, historical, environmental, and socio-economic influences of the
world around you—and the incredible impact that you can have. Through
deep interaction with diverse cultures you’ll start to go beyond observation
and into participation, doing your small part to help make lives better
worldwide.”

“In past terms, Think Global School students have taught English to
Chinese migrant students, established composting pits in India, and made
documentaries chronicling rebuilding efforts in an earthquake-devastated
region of Japan.”

Think Global School students have white-water rafted on Costa Rica’s

Pacuare River, learned sushi rolling in Kyoto, built a school in Tanzania,
visited the Tiger’s Nest monastery in Bhutan, camped overnight with the
indigenous Yidinji tribe of Australia, and gone caving in Bosnia. These
experiences combine subjects including history, science, geography, social
studies, foreign language, and physical education, and each one adds a
building block to your understanding of the world.”

 Developing physical awareness one student at a time

 Pick the brains of some of today’s most influential game-changers

(guest speakers, In the past, students have discussed the syndrome of
the silent majority with  Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran, and the art of
making connections with Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay.
Each session has inspired students to consider new career paths and
take on new challenges, exploring corners of the world that they may
not have even considered before.

The duration of the programme is similar to the school year, the

difference is that it is divided in terms. In each term students learn in
another country. It goes from late July and beginning of June with
breaks between terms in September, December and March.
4. In what way can it change people’s lives?
“Think Global School’s commitment to diversity will enable you to
explore the differences between yourself and your classmates alongside
the shared commonalities. And by reaching across cultural and
geographical divides, you’ll find yourself overcoming biases while
developing a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.”
“Our Educators Don’t Just Change Minds. They Also Change Lives .”
“At THINK Global School, we select the finest teachers from around the
world. Hailing from backgrounds as diverse as our travels, these
enthusiastic educators and born innovators have just one thing in common:
a passion for guiding learning in a way that puts students first. You’ll
never find our teachers droning on at the front of a classroom. Instead,
they plan and oversee multidisciplinary projects, act as sounding boards
for student-designed projects, moderate discussions, suggest readings,
assist with media production, lead adventure tours, critique essays,
comment on blog posts, and introduce you to new apps and software, all
with the goal of making you a thoughtful, well-rounded citizen of the
world.”

“With a competitive student to faculty ratio of just 4:1, you’ll receive

ample personal attention and opportunities to grow. Our educators provide
you with the framework of a rigorous project-based learning curriculum,
but we encourage you to pursue your passion projects and take your
learning into your own hands. This is your education, and only you know
how to get the most out of it.”

“in TGS it’s not enough for you to simply understand the world. They
want to equip you with the tools to make a difference, as well as the drive
to do so. Every aspect of their education is designed to help you make
sense of the cultural, historical, environmental, and socio-economic
influences of the world around you—and the incredible impact that people
can have. Through deep interaction with diverse cultures, you’ll start to go
beyond observation and into participation, doing your small part to help
make lives better worldwide.

Basically. It helps and teaches you to make a difference in the world.
