About THINK Global School
What if school wasn’t a place you went, but a journey you lived? At THINK Global School, education moves. Over two years and eight countries, our students learn not just how the world works, but how they can work within it.
We are the world’s first travelling high school, a fully accredited, two-year program designed for young people who are curious about the world and brave enough to let it change them. Each term, we live and learn in a new country, engaging deeply with culture, community, and global challenges through hands‑on, place‑based learning.
Our Think Potential model is built on three pillars that shape every experience:
- Global Immersion: expanding perspective through meaningful, place‑based learning.
- Personal Pathways: nurturing self‑directed projects that grow from passion and purpose.
- Whole‑Being Development: cultivating emotional intelligence, wellbeing, and reflection as essential dimensions of learning.
We are a school for the bravely curious - educators and students alike.
