Common questions about this role

Which curriculum does the school follow?
Nava Nalanda High School follows the state-board curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
How long does it take to hear back after applying?
Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days. If you don't hear back in two weeks, the role has usually been filled or paused — keep applying to similar openings in the meantime.
I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned.
