About the school: At Freedom International School (FIS), our classrooms are lively, the lessons are interactive, sometimes interrupted by another teacher who has discovered an unusual insect or plant in the garden and shares their discovery with the class. Children reach their own conclusions through observation and hands-on activities. We encourage and value our children as individuals from day one. A typical school day includes learning concepts, asking questions, thinking critically, making informed decisions, taking responsibility, working together, meeting deadlines, being creative, doing research, kicking a ball, practicing a song or dance, and having lots of fun! Supported and valued as an individual from day one, each child learns to be resilient, responsible, self-confident, and innovative. They gain experience and expertise as they learn to combine the best of our culture and values with a solid step into the world of tomorrow.
Common questions about this role
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.
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.
When does the school want the joining date to be?
Most school roles aim for a joining around the start of the next academic month or term. Once shortlisted, the school will agree a realistic date based on your notice period.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Freedom International School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
