I have a conflict of interest as Marketing Director at THINK Global School, so I'm posting this request rather than editing the article directly, per WP:COI. Sourcing below is the school's official Aug 2026 school profile for basic factual claims (name, structure) per WP:ABOUTSELF; I've flagged where independent sourcing would be better for anything evaluative.
1. Curriculum name — the article's central inaccuracy
The article refers throughout to the "Changemaker Curriculum," which has been retired. The school now uses the THINK Global School Curriculum, organized around three pillars: Global Immersion, Personal Pathways, and Wholebeing.
Change:
- "Students at THINK Global School gain an education through the Changemaker Curriculum..."
To:
- "Students at THINK Global School gain an education through the THINK Global School Curriculum..."
Change section header "Changemaker Curriculum" to "THINK Global School Curriculum", and update the section body to:
- "Learning at THINK Global School is centered around the school's internally developed curriculum, which combines high academic standards with student-driven, project-based learning across three areas: Global Immersion, Personal Pathways, and Wholebeing. There are no formal classes; instead students participate in one multidisciplinary teacher-led module each term (roughly eight weeks) that draws heavily from social, environmental, historical, and cultural themes, alongside self-directed personal projects."
The existing citation (thinkglobalschool.org/academics/the-changemaker-curriculum/, dated 2016) is stale and should be replaced with a current source; I can supply an updated URL if a reviewing editor requests it.
2. Mastery rank names
The article states: "These ranks are novice, specialist, and master." The school's current terminology (per its Bloom's Taxonomy-based mastery pyramid) is Emerging, Specializing, and Mastering.
Change to:
- "Students progress through three mastery ranks tied to psychologist Benjamin Bloom's theory of mastery learning: Emerging, Specializing, and Mastering."
3. Enrollment figure
Infobox currently lists enrollment = 30. Per the 2026–27 school profile, current enrollment is 27 students (21 countries, 6 continents, 16 languages represented).
Change infobox to:
- | enrollment = 27 (2026–27)
4. Naming the excursion program
The article describes unnamed "week-long activities" leaving the host city. This program is officially branded weXplore.
Change:
- "Each term students also take at least one week-long series of activities, leaving the host city for another location."
To:
- "Each term, students also take part in a week-long excursion — branded weXplore — that takes them outside their host city to another part of the country, typically tied to that term's project module."
Also suggest renaming the subsection "Cultural experiences and weXplores" to reflect the branded term consistently throughout.
5. Additional content the article is missing (lower priority, for editor discretion)
The article currently omits several verifiable details that could round it out: accreditation/membership list (WASC, plus CASE, ECIS, EARCOS, NAIS, TABS), recognition by the Good Schools Guide International, current contact/location info, graduation-requirement structure (Capstone Mastery Project, Service Learning Project, three Personal Projects), and the school's mission/vision statements. Happy to provide the specific wording if useful, but flagging these as secondary to the curriculum-name correction above, which is the most materially inaccurate part of the current article.
Thanks for reviewing — let me know if you need any additional sourcing for the above. Glacierfanclub (talk) 18:05, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
