Check the \"About the school\" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Vikaasa School?", "a": "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." }, { "q": "What non-teaching duties are expected?", "a": "Beyond teaching periods you'll typically own a homeroom, run one club/activity, support exam logistics, and contribute to one school-wide initiative each term." }, { "q": "How do I write an application email for this Principal role?", "a": "A ready template with subject line, three-paragraph structure and attachment checklist (with a \"Principal — Vikaasa School\" subject-line example) is in the guide: /guides/teacher-application-letter." }, { "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?", "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round.
