THINK Global School’s rigorous Changemaker Curriculum combines travel with project-based learning, making for a one-of-a-kind education that nurtures all areas of teenage development.

Russell is one of the principals of THINK Global School (TGS) and was voted one of the top 100 Global Visionaries in Education (GFEL, 2021). TGS is the world’s first travelling high school, and beyond the travel, TGS offers a distinctly unique environment for students to guide their learning through the Changemaker Curriculum. Designed with agency in mind, the Changemaker Curriculum empowers students to create and implement projects relevant to the countries they call home during the course of their TGS education.

Experience Skill City, their unique VR environment, bringing to life real world safeguarding dilemmas in realistic but safe scenarios.

Their values

• We listen in order to continually learn and improve
• We connect and collaborate because partnerships achieve more for less
• We put the learner and their needs first

• We engage and involve learners in our development
• We adapt and are flexible when encountering new situations and knowledge
• We include all learners regardless of age, disability, gender, relationship or parental status, race, belief, sex or sexual orientation

Their approach

• Holistic, cross-curricular education that delivers transferable skills for 21st century life
• Immersive, practical and interactive learning in which users discuss, make decisions and then do, rather than simply learning facts
• Awareness of surroundings to make good risk assessments, confidently make better decisions and deal with individual and collective challenges

• Provision of a realistic dilemma-based virtual Skill City as the core resource
