Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.

Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
