What Svitlo School means to Anna:

For me, Svitlo School is a second family. Comfort, kindness, love, light! It's a school where I can not only study but also have fun with my friends, no matter how far away we are. Svitlo School has influenced my life in a very unexpected but incredibly positive way! I think if it weren't for Svitlo School, my life wouldn't be getting better and better every day. I feel like I have made real friends and met such great teachers. Svitlo School really makes you look at the world in a different way, and for me, it was like a light at the end of a dark corridor.

Scholarship from Svitlo:

• Pearson Academy Online part time from September 2023, graduating in 2026, 
• 2 weeks in St Giles, Oxford, UK in summer 2024
