Ascend Education Academy in Patiala, Punjab is on the lookout for a Principal. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Ascend Education Academy, established 2021, is a secondary school in Patiala, Punjab — a CBSE-affiliated school.

- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
- Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. What we offer:
- Competitive, on-time salary (₹7.8 LPA – ₹13.7 LPA).
- Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
- Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
- A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
- Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application on this page and Ascend Education Academy will weigh your candidacy for the opening. Next steps usually include a short demo class and a panel discussion.
