After three very exciting months, it is now time for the TGS community to put Chiang Mai in the category of "been there, done that!" We would like to extend a massive thank you to our host school PTIS for showing us the ropes, and helping make our stay the success that it was. We now have our sights set squarely on Berlin to close out the 2011-2012 school year.
If the challenging academics and exotic excursions at TGS sound appealing, we encourage you to apply for 2012-2013. Openings and scholarships are still available in a limited capacity. Learn more at: http://thinkglobalschool.org/admissions/admissions-overview/
We hope you enjoy the following selection of student and faculty journals from our time in Thailand. Your feedback is always welcome. And with that we are off to prepare for Germany!

Our Time With The Palong Hill Tribe
By Maya M
9th Grade Student
The first thing we saw of the community was a bridge. A home-built, rough bridge made of thick trunks and tree planks. It was one of those bridges you don’t really know what to expect from, but as you walk on it is surprisingly stable. I feel like this bridge mirrored.. Read more... |
