Dear Parent,
We are glad to inform you that Pragathi School has been collaborated with British Council’s International School Awards Programme through Connecting Classrooms. This collaboration allows the students of Std-II to X to get excellent international exposure through various projects.

Yesterday our school successfully concluded an international activity with a school in Kamburupitiya, Matara in Sri Lanka. A batch of Grade X students got a wonderful experience through a video conference on Skype with their counterparts of the Sri Lankan School. They spoke on their Favourite Sri Lankan Cricketer, while kids that side spoke on their Favourite Indian Cricketer. Our students’ confident communication and knowledge base was truly impressive and also won praise from the Sri Lankan correspondent.
Team Pragathi promises to keep advancing on our mission to motivate. Given below is the list of class-wise projects for the year 2013-’14. This is for your information.
