Dear Parents,
We are overjoyed to share the tale of a trailblazer and an exemplary Cygnite, Aarav Khandelwal.
He has always lived by what we at Cygnus believe in- holistic development and giving everything the best shot. Unlike many others, who choose to give up on semi-academic or non-academic activities in their 10th grade, Aarav has been a part of various activities right through the year. He has represented the school in oratory events and radio programmes, been a part of the school team in meeting international delegates and as a part of prestigious projects like studying the Luxmi Villas Palace through Education Through Monuments. His schedules have been as busy as any other 10th grader, but time management and prioritizing has always helped him stay ahead of his game.
He has been inclined towards the German language right since grade 6 when he chose it as his third language. He recently participated in a video making and essay writing competition organised by Goethe - Institut, Max Mueller Bhavan Mumbai in collaboration with Gieseck+Devrient Stiftung. His short video on the topic, Stell dich vor und erzähl uns von deinem Lebenstraum” and an essay on the topic, Was können die Deutschen von deinem Land lernen und umgekehrt?” towered way above the others.
This won him a two-week scholarship for a German language course in Germany. Aarav will be at Goethe-Institute in Munich from July 5th until July 20th, 2024. Apart from learning German, he will also experience the country’s culture by attending attractive cultural events in and around Munich including a weekend excursion to the country’s capital, Berlin.
We are proud of him and wish to see him shine brighter in national and international skies!
Way to go, Aarav and congratulations to the proud parents as well!
Dear Parents,

"A small change can make a big difference. You are the only one who can make our world a better place to inhabit. So, don’t be afraid to take a stand.”- Ankita Singhal.
Cygnus World School would like to share with you an incredible & the inspirational journey of Ranvir Shah who is presently in grade 3-C in this academic session.
During the lockdown Ranvir started growing his hair, as everything was online there were no restrictions. It grew to a point where Ranvir & his parents decided to contribute towards a noble cause. His parents contacted an NGO called “Coping with Cancer” who informed them that Ranvir could donate his hair for making wigs for cancer patients. The minimum length required for donating the hair was 12 inches. With special permission from school and with Ranvir's patience to bear with such long hair for 2 years in the hot and humid temperatures, he finally touched the magic number of 12 inches.
We are hereby sharing with you the certificate and a before and after picture of Ranvir. We hope this inspires others, kids and adults alike, of schools way beyond Cygnus, to become aware of one of the many problems faced daily by millions of cancer patients. Also to give them a chance to donate something which doesn't take any great efforts or money or cause any pain to the donor.
We are extremely proud of Ranvir, who being so young has made such a huge impact in someone’s life.
