Job description
Overview
We are looking for a Principal to join Maharishi Vidya Mandir in Tiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu. You will work alongside an experienced team that takes student outcomes seriously. Maharishi Vidya Mandir, established 1992, runs as a senior secondary campus in Tiruvannamalai, Tamilnadu — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school believes a strong campus is built on its teachers and works to be a place where faculty want to stay. What the role looks like: the Principal owns outcomes for the assigned section/portfolio — academic quality, faculty development, parent engagement, and student wellbeing — and contributes to the school's strategic plans. What you will do:
- Own academic outcomes for the assigned portfolio.
- Coach teachers, especially those in their first few years.
- Drive disciplined execution of the academic and assessment calendar.
- Represent the school in academic forums and audits.
- Work with the Principal on medium-term plans. Ideal candidate — you have:
- 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
- Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
- A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
- Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
- Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. Perks and culture:
- Fair compensation with annual review (₹8.8 LPA – ₹18.2 LPA).
- Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
- Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
- A working culture that takes faculty wellbeing seriously.
- A school that genuinely cares about student outcomes. Submit your application here so Maharishi Vidya Mandir can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.

Does Maharishi Vidya Mandir help with relocation from another city?

Can I negotiate the salary at Maharishi Vidya Mandir?
Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.
