Have you ever imagined a school without any building? Have you ever wished to take a year off and travel the world? Joann McPike has created a traveling school! Joann is a New Zealand native, an avid traveler and a photographer. She founded Think Global School (TGS) where students travel to 12 countries across 3 years. Everything they study is connected to the context of the country they are in.

Traditional schools tend to focus on content to be taught. They have to make an extra effort to make learning relevant, with real - life applicability and build future skills like communication, critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, empathy etc. Think Global School by design keeps relevance, real-life applicability and future skills in the centre, with content being a mere vehicle.

Listen in to learn more about the motivation, design, successes, challenges and lessons learnt.
