At THINK Global School, students from over two dozen nations come together to live and learn in four different countries each year, making meaningful connections between their studies and the world around them.
Central to this is our challenging Changemaker Curriculum, which puts young people in charge of their own education through a combination of real-world exploration, skills mastery, and project-based learning.
A small student body and highly engaged teachers ensure a focus on emotional wellness in addition to academic achievement.
As a result, THINK Global School students develop a strong sense of autonomy and purpose alongside the 21st-century skills necessary to succeed at university and beyond.

School Notes
- THINK Global School (TGS) is the world's first traveling high school. Attendees between the ages of 15-18 gain an education by living in four different countries each year, learning firsthand from their multicultural experiences. Students who attend TGS for all three years have the opportunity to live in ten countries total, gaining expertise well-suited to bring about change in our increasingly global world.
- What sets TGS apart from other schools is its Changemaker Curriculum. Through project-based learning, students explore real-world problems by creating projects that address them. Working on projects allows students to be hands-on and in charge of their studies rather than simply being instructed by a teacher. Educators at TGS serve as mentors and advisors, ensuring projects stay on track.
- Our educators design relevant projects for each country TGS visits, meaning students are gaining skills that can be directly applied in the workforce. Each country is also an opportunity to meet with local experts, guest speakers, and community members who provide meaningful project and career advice.
- The Changemaker Curriculum also goes above and beyond to prepare students for university's academic and social rigors. By letting students guide their learning and imbuing every aspect of their education with compassion and service, they're empowered to become leaders in their university communities and beyond. 94% of THINK Global School graduates have gone on to university.
