About the school: His Grace Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus relied on legal framework rather than loose–knit ideas. One good example is that he registered Charitable Trusts, to promote education and relief work among the sick, the poor and the victims of natural calamities. One such Trust is the Malankara Orthodox Church Council of Bombay (MOCCB) which in later years promoted many educational institutions. When His Grace constituted MOCCB there was only one school in the Diocese i.e. St. Thomas School at Kalyan .Today, after three decades of the formation of Bombay Diocese, MOCCB has become a great educational hub running several schools and junior Colleges in Maharashtra and Gujarat. The first of the schools established by His Grace, St. Mary’s Multipurpose School, holds its sway in Navi Mumbai as the topmost educational institution with about 6500 students on the roll. Yet this institution refuses to accept failure of even a single student at Secondary and Higher Secondary examinations.
Common questions about this role
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 accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.
Is background verification done before joining?
Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification.
What non-teaching duties are expected?
Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term.
What does a typical day look like?
School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club). Saturdays vary by school.
