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
Are detailed lesson plans expected?
Schools generally require lesson plans aligned to the syllabus and pacing calendar. Coordinators review them weekly or fortnightly.
Is B.Ed mandatory for this role?
Yes, for board-affiliated school teaching roles a B.Ed is generally required. Exceptions exist for very experienced subject experts and for play-school/early-years specialists.
Do I have to work weekends?
Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off.
Is background verification done before joining?
Yes — most schools run document and reference verification, and many use third-party background checks. Keep your last 2–3 employer references and original certificates ready.
Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
