Common questions about this role
Is school transport available for staff?
Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes.

Common non-teaching duties include exam invigilation, homework correction, parent-teacher meetings, one co-curricular activity, and being a homeroom/tutor-group mentor.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
John Xxiii School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
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.
What is the leave policy?
Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar.
How do I make a resume for a CBSE HOD Science job?

Skip generic corporate objectives. The School Jobs India resume builder has a ready template you can fill in and download.
