Job description

Overview

A vacancy has opened for a Principal at Central Academy in South Delhi, Delhi. The role suits educators who value a structured environment with clear expectations and strong support. Central Academy in South Delhi, Delhi functions as a senior secondary institution — a CBSE-affiliated school. The leadership team is closely involved in academic planning and faculty support, with a sharp focus on classroom impact. What the role looks like: the Principal owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. Day to day, you will:

  • Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
  • 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. Candidate requirements:
  • Senior educator with a balanced view of academics and operations.
  • Proven ability to mentor teachers and improve outcomes over time.
  • Strong stakeholder management — board, parents, regulators, vendors.
  • Comfortable with data — assessments, attendance, faculty metrics.
  • A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. Perks and culture:
  • Fair compensation with annual review (₹11.3 LPA – ₹12.2 LPA).
  • Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
  • Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
  • A working culture that takes faculty wellbeing seriously.
  • A school that genuinely cares about student outcomes. Submit your application here so Central Academy can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
