About the school: Christel House transforms the lives of children experiencing poverty around the world. A robust K–12 education and a strong character development program are supported by regular healthcare, nutritious meals, guidance counseling, career planning, family assistance and College & Careers support.
Children don't choose to be born into poverty. Most grow up never realizing their human potential. Instead, they face physical and psychological trauma, hunger, malnutrition, disease, low self-esteem and lack of opportunity. Christel House is a holistic model designed to transform the lives of impoverished children. We do this by focusing on the whole child. We don't just educate, or feed, or provide healthcare, we do all of these things, from early childhood through early adulthood. We develop the total child.
Common questions about this role
What is the leave policy?
Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays. Earned-leave encashment policies vary — check the offer letter.
Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.
Is the salary CTC or in-hand?
Schools quote CTC by default. In-hand depends on PF (12% employee share), professional tax, and your tax slab — ask HR for a sample salary structure before accepting.
Is there a probation period?
Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless.
How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week. You'll get a notification on School Jobs India the moment the school updates your application status.
