About the school: Change is the only constant and our country has seen so many revolutionary changes in the last few decades. But sadly only in the field of education, we still follow the age-old practice of recognizing someone only by the grades and scores in the exams. No importance is given for the acquisition of skills and behaviour. It is unfortunate that eighty percent of our graduates are not work-ready and the remaining twenty percent also require some kind of orientation. Though our graduates fare extremely well on the content with rote learning, they struggle in the conceptual understanding which is a combination of knowledge, skill and application to real-life situations. These thoughts led to the creation of Samsidh Schools which teach the students the knowledge required, the skills to apply the learnt knowledge in real-life situations and the equanimous behaviour required to lead a contented life. Samsidh follows the CBSE curriculum and has collaborated with Zee Learn Ltd for the curriculum support.
Common questions about this role
Is there a probation period?
Yes — a 3 to 6 month probation is standard in K-12 schools across India. Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless.
What does a typical day look like?
School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club). Saturdays vary by school.
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.
How big are the classes?
Class sizes in Indian K-12 schools usually fall in the 25–40 student range. Premium IB/IGCSE schools often cap sections at 22–25.
Is this a contract or permanent role?
This is listed as a full time role. The exact contract term and renewal terms are confirmed at offer stage.
