Crescent School in Chennai, Tamil Nadu is inviting applications for a HOD Mathematics. The role sits inside the school's day-to-day academic delivery and reports into the section head. Crescent School in Chennai, Tamil Nadu functions as a senior secondary institution — a CBSE-affiliated school, established 1968,. The leadership team is closely involved in academic planning and faculty support, with a sharp focus on classroom impact.

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. Compensation and environment:
  • Salary structured fairly across roles (₹10.6 LPA – ₹22.5 LPA).
  • A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
  • Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
  • A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
  • Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Crescent School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
