Overview
Prarthana English School in Palghar, Maharashtra is on the lookout for a Principal. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery.

- Engage with leadership on hiring, budgets, and infrastructure needs.
- Spend time on the floor — corridors, classrooms, labs — to read the school accurately. Candidate requirements:
- Senior educator with a balanced view of academics and operations.
- Proven ability to mentor teachers and improve outcomes over time.
- Strong stakeholder management — board, parents, regulators, vendors.
- Comfortable with data — assessments, attendance, faculty metrics.
- A long-term thinker who can also execute well in the short term. Perks and culture:
- Fair compensation with annual review (₹11.4 LPA – ₹13.9 LPA).
- Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
- Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
