The school has successfully organized activities focused on cultural-linguistic exchange and knowledge sharing in the areas of language, science, and mathematics. These activities aim to enhance students’ confidence and communication skills, particularly in English.
Priyadarshini School and Junior College has a direct Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Cambridge University to provide career counseling to Class XI-XII students. Some have collaborated with the British Council for educational and cultural exchange programs for students in grades V to X for the past three years. Additionally, they have partnered with Cambridge University to support students interested in pursuing higher education abroad by offering guidance in university selection and application processes.
