Class of 2024
My introduction to Thames was through the search engines that recommended the pursuit. Thames has a great way of reaching younger minds and it works so well because it delivers as it shows. Everyone I met prior to the admission and the whole premise of the campus invited me for a novel approach at reading and writing that was liberating and autonomous - ones I had never experienced before. Those factors became my incentive to choose Thames.

What made Thames stand out for me was its unique core values, which focused on student experiences and practicality rather than rigid systems we often encounter. From providing hands-on learning experiences to the teachers who brought a diverse learning environment into the classrooms, it actually gave me the opportunity to grow into the person I am today. Thames has always provided the students with the space to learn and unlearn, and in that process, I got to explore academics alongside various clubs and organisations, which significantly enhanced the skills I acquired.
