Head of School — Crossroads Central School, Kottayam
Job description
Overview
Crossroads Central School in Kottayam, Kerala is on the lookout for a Head of School. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. Crossroads Central School, established 2006, is a secondary campus in Kottayam, Kerala — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar.

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. Qualifications and skills:
- Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
- Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
- High professional integrity and a clear communication style. Benefits and culture:
- Salary in line with experience and market norms (₹10.1 LPA – ₹23.8 LPA).
- Structured calendar with reasonable workload expectations.
- Professional development through workshops and internal training.
- A collaborative staff culture with clear leadership backing.
- Stable, full-time employment at a settled school. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for Crossroads Central School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
