Kuriakose Elias English Medium School, established 1991, is a senior secondary campus in Kottayam, Kerala — a ICSE / CISCE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar.

Responsibilities:
- Lead the assigned section/department on academic and operational matters.

- Oversee assessment cycles, result analysis, and improvement plans.

- Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
- Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
- Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
- Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.

- Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
- Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
- A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
- Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application here so Kuriakose Elias English Medium School can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
