Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Principal to join Christ Jyoti International School in Muzaffarpur, Bihar. You will work alongside an experienced team that takes student outcomes seriously. Christ Jyoti International School, established 2016, is a senior secondary campus in Muzaffarpur, Bihar — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar. 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. Requirements:
  • Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
  • Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
  • Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
  • Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
  • A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.6 LPA – ₹17.3 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 online from this page to be considered by Christ Jyoti International School. Interview slots are scheduled after profile review, typically inside five to seven working days.

Common questions about this role

How do I make a resume for a CBSE Principal job?

How long does it take to hear back after applying?

Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
