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.
