Known locally for steady academic delivery, a stable faculty base, and a balanced mix of academics, sports, and the arts.

  • A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.9 LPA – ₹15.4 LPA).
  • Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
  • A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
