Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter." }, { "q": "Which curriculum does the school follow?", "a": "The Cambridge School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework." }, { "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?", "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above.
