THINK Global School (TGS) describes itself as the world's first travelling high school. It has no fixed campus: each year students live and study in four host countries, so that over the two-year programme they experience up to eight countries. For 2026-27 the planned destinations are Malaysia, Australia, Japan and Italy, followed by Botswana, Mexico, India and Greece in 2027-28. Founded in 2010, the school serves only US Grades 11 and 12; students complete both years to earn an American high school diploma accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Learning is project-based and place-based, with each location becoming part of the curriculum. The community is very small: 27 students aged 15 to 18 from 21 countries in 2026-27, an average class size of 11 and a student-to-teacher ratio of about 3:1, with a 50/50 gender balance. Admission is selective, with an acceptance rate of around 10%. Full annual tuition is USD 94,050, but every family pays according to a need-based sliding scale, and 78% of current students receive aid. Tuition covers housing, meals, in-country travel, technology and insurance. TGS is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit, and its New York address is an unstaffed administrative mailing office.

Information about the educational stages of the THINK Global School

TGS offers only the last two years of American high school, Grades 11 and 12, so it covers the Baccalaureate stage. Students join in Grade 11, typically at about 16, after completing Grades 9 and 10 elsewhere, and they must stay for both years to graduate with the US diploma. Each school year is divided into four terms of about seven weeks, each spent in a different host country, with breaks at home in between.

Languages and International Programs at THINK Global School


English English (Instructional)

Information about languages of the THINK Global School

English is the sole language of instruction at TGS, and applicants must demonstrate proficiency before enrolling. No other language is taught as a regular subject. Instead, students learn useful everyday words and phrases in the main language of each host country as part of the programme, and each term begins with preparation that includes basic language skills. The 2026-27 student body speaks 16 languages between them.

American Curriculum American Curriculum

Information about international degrees and programmes of the THINK Global School

Graduates receive a US high school diploma accredited by WASC. Because the American system expects four years of high school, students must complete Grades 9 and 10 elsewhere before joining in Grade 11. Instead of the International Baccalaureate, TGS follows its own Changemaker Curriculum, combining teacher-led modules with student-designed projects, which account for roughly 40% of the course load each term. Advisors can help students prepare for Advanced Placement exams, which the school administers to enrolled students only. A university preparation programme supports applications, and the school reports that 92% of graduates go on to university.
