Thames Community

The life of the Thames student is not confined to the four walls of the physical classroom. Instead, he or she develops essential skills through real-world activities and learning.

Non-traditional Assessments

Thames students become creative and able to solve complex problems. Learning in Thames goes beyond traditional methods; students find themselves running experiential learning events such as fairs, bazaars, and even stage productions. These nontraditional assessments expose students to real-world problems and teach them to create real-world solutions.

International Trips

The Thames student graduates as a global citizen. Here, we believe that “The World is your Classroom,” and we back it up by organizing various international trips through which our students experience self-discovery, pursue their dreams, and have their eyes opened to global opportunity. Thames students reap the benefits of our partnerships with universities in Australia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Each country offers its own culture and industrial expertise, and a Thames Student can learn from each and every one.

Industry-linked Seminars and Conferences

Thames bridges the gap between education and industry. Academic classes are offered in tandem with opportunities for students to participate in and even lead various seminars and conferences that are relevant and attuned to the needs of our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous time.

Student Organization Activities

Thames prioritizes building People Management and Coordination skills in our students. We do this through our official student organizations (Thames Entrep Network, Thames Business Leaders, Thames Communicators, and Thames Sports X Fitness). These student organizations plan and organize student activities that include talks and workshops, art showcases, gym days, sports and outdoor activities, and of course the other parties and gatherings that further strengthen the tightly knit community of Thames International.

Even in the face of pandemic, lockdown, and uncertainty, student life at Thames continues. Through online activities such as webinars, online workshops, art showcases, and workout sessions, our students continue to grow where others have ground to a halt. Our Wellness Wednesday Sessions serve as a safe space for students to hang out online through guided activities, games, and even healthy cooking demos.

Our very first Senior High School students are coming in, and they will join the student activities of the undergraduate students as part of all our drive to nourish students’ growth and the development of their essential skills.

9 out of 10 Thames students who went through our first-ever term of 100% full online learning found it to be an effective way of continuing their education despite being in lockdown.

The community has leveraged its technological savvy to continue their academic and personal development without delay. Find out more about it from our students themselves.
