One sentence that describes Nikita:‍

Instead of thinking before I do, I do my best at once.

What Svitlo School means to Nikita:‍

Svitlo School has completely changed my life. Starting with the daily schedule and ending with the circle of friends, Svitlo School influenced everything (of course, in a positive way).  I became more organised, stopped wasting time, found myself in a circle of interesting people and, most importantly, opportunities. I never dreamed of such achievements as a scholarship to an American online school or a trip to a camp abroad. It all changed my view of the world.

Scholarship from Svitlo:

• Pearson Academy Online part time from December 2022, graduating in 2025, 
• 2 weeks in Shrewsbury School, the Discovery Summer camp in summer 2023, 
• 2 weeks in The School of the New York Times, New York, USA in summer 2024
