Overview
THINK Global School: The World’s First Traveling High School
At THINK Global School (TGS), the world’s only traveling high school, students live and learn across four countries each year. Along the way, they gain the skills, perspectives, and friendships needed to thrive in today’s interconnected world. In an age of constant digital connection, TGS prioritizes authentic, human experiences. Students ages 16–18 in Grades 11–12 experience life in up to eight countries over two years while earning a fully WASC-accredited diploma through real-world immersion and genuine cultural exchange.
What Makes TGS Unique?
Instead of textbooks and lectures, students dive into project-based learning through TGS’s innovative Changemaker Curriculum. Imagine:
• Exploring ancient philosophy as you trace Odysseus’ path through Greece
• Scuba diving off Australia’s coast while cataloging marine life for data models
• Designing sustainability solutions for urban life in Mexico City
Each eight-week term focuses on a multidisciplinary project that tackles real-world issues while drawing inspiration from the host country’s culture, environment, and community.
With a faculty-to-student ratio of 4:1, students receive individualized guidance from multicultural educators who act as mentors as well as teachers. Since 2010, TGS has called 34 extraordinary countries home, creating a truly global classroom unlike any other.
Current Destinations Include:
• Botswana
• Mexico
• India
• Greece
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Australia
• Japan
• Italy

Academics
The Changemaker Curriculum replaces traditional classes with hands-on, project-based learning. Instead of sitting in math or science classes, students work on real-world projects that combine multiple subjects at once. For example, they might study marine biology while scuba diving in Australia, or explore ancient philosophy while tracing Odysseus’s journey through Greece.
Each eight-week term focuses on solving actual problems in their host country by working with local experts, conducting research, and presenting solutions to real audiences. Students also design personal projects based on their interests, from creating documentaries to conducting scientific studies.
Through these modules, students gain:
• Mastery of essential skills across all academic disciplines
• Autonomy over their learning and project design
• Purpose by tackling meaningful global challenges
Everything is measured against specific learning goals, and students must demonstrate mastery through their work rather than taking traditional tests. This approach develops critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills while earning a fully accredited high school diploma.
