Review

I was a student between the years 2012-2015 (and studied with TGS in Argentina, Bhutan, USA, India, Tanzania, Japan, New Zealand, Costa Rica and Greece, in given order) in grades 10-12.

TGS is an amazing experience that you cannot find anywhere else. It has sincerely helped my personal growth immensely and challenged myself in multiple ways (as by immersing myself in English and learning Spanish, and living away from home under longer periods of time). I have great memories from every country we have studied in, although some more than others. Similarly, by travelling and living so extensively with people from all walks of life, I now consider people from across the globe to be some of my dearest friends (both students and staff) - even 3 years after having graduated.

When I was a student there, the school was still under the IB curriculum (The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme). This was a very challenging task for students, to combine both travels and studying this immensely academically challenging program. They've done their best to adapt a new program for the benefit of the students, as well as to re-use old cities that the school went to and instead doing their best trying to improve that experience for students.

If given the chance, I would definitely recommend anyone interested in exploring the world while still enrolled in high school to apply.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
