SVITLO`S FAIRY TALE

Alina Kurylo
March 20, 2025

Once upon a time, in a land where knowledge shone brighter than the sun, a magical school was born. This was no ordinary place — it was Svitlo School!

And today, our beloved Svitlo School turns three! That’s right — three years of learning, laughing, and probably mispronouncing “through” at least a hundred times. Three years of unlocking new skills, making friends, and discovering that English is not just a language — it’s a whole new world.

To celebrate this legendary day, 13 fearless students set out on a mission. With nothing but their keyboards, creativity, and a slight addiction to Google Translate, they crafted a fairy tale from scratch! But this wasn’t just any fairy tale — oh no! It was filled with real-life moments from Svitlo School’s journey, its magical beginnings, and the wonderful people who make it what it is today.

You might even find yourself in the story! Maybe as a brave student on a quest to defeat the Grammar Goblin, a wise teacher guiding young heroes through the Labyrinth of Tenses, or a fearless warrior battling the evil forces of “Ukrainian Accent Anxiety.”

Now, dear reader, the magic awaits! Dive into the pages below to read the fairy tale and step into a world where Svitlo School comes to life in the most unexpected ways.

Too tired to read? No worries! We’ve got an audio version, so you can just relax, stare at the sky, and let the story take you away. Whether you’re chilling on your bed, pretending to do homework, or heroically trying to remember how to pronounce “tough” correctly, this fairy tale is here for you.

So, let’s raise our glasses (of tea, coffee, or possibly leftover energy drink) and say: Happy 3rd Birthday, Svitlo School! May your lessons always be exciting, your students always be curious, and your English always be fluent!

Now, go on—read or listen to the FAIRY TALE and enter the magic!
