TGS tuition includes:

• Education from a global team of educators, counselors, and support staff who travel with you throughout your journey

• Housing while on program

The only significant costs that are not included in tuition are your flights to and from the start of each term. Flight costs are taken into consideration when you apply for financial aid.

Scholarships

Scholarships and tuition are based on each family's unique financial situation. If a student is accepted to TGS, we commit to covering 100% of the demonstrated need of the family based on our needs assessment. As we receive a large number of applicants each year, scholarship funds are limited.

During the admissions process, we work with a neutral, third-party assessor who helps us determine each family's need.

We believe that education should connect you to the world around you, providing context and insight into today’s most pressing issues.
