I joined City Montessori School, Cambridge Section, to gain exposure to an international curriculum and a truly holistic education. Alongside academics, I pursued music as a guitarist (ABRSM Grade 3) and vocalist (Visharad in Indian Classical Music) and trained in Bharatanatyam for over twelve years, earning a Prabhakar degree. At CMS, I also served as the Alumni Coordinator for two consecutive years and as President of the Computer Science Club, The Byte Club, while pursuing A Levels in Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, and Design & Technology.<\/p>

In Grade 11, I authored a research paper on EcoStride, a kinetic walkway using piezoelectric cells to generate renewable energy, which earned me a UK patent, and developed SHEETAL, a solar-powered terracotta cooling system achieving a 10\u00b0C temperature reduction and securing a German patent. I was also selected for the RISD Pre-College Programme in the United States, where I studied art and activism during an intensive five-week immersion. Through academics, innovation, leadership, and the arts, CMS shaped me into a confident, socially conscious learner, and I am now pursuing a \u2018Major in Design\u2019 at the University of Pennsylvania, College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

CMS Cambridge has played an important role in my academic and personal growth. Through the Cambridge programme, and particularly Cambridge IPQ (Cambridge International Project Qualification) on nuclear fusion, I gained early experience in research writing, data analysis, and independent work.<\/p>

This foundation later helped me publish my first research paper as an undergraduate. The rigour of the curriculum strengthened my critical thinking, self-discipline, and time management, while hosting events and participating in school events helped me develop leadership and communication skills with a global perspective.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

CMS Cambridge played a vital role in shaping my academic and personal journey. It helped me develop strong analytical thinking, clear communication skills, and the confidence to explore interdisciplinary interests. The exposure and mentorship I received laid a solid foundation for my pursuit of computer science and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I believe CMS Cambridge gave me a space to express myself that no other school could have. I remember entering the school in grade 7 as a shy, underconfident student. Over the years, it shaped not just my academic understanding but also my sense of self. I firmly believe that confidence is one of the most crucial parts of any career, and CMS played a powerful role in helping me build it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
