Job description

Overview

Saraswati Vidya Mandir is recruiting a Principal in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. The academic framework is built around clear learning goals, regular reviews, and a healthy planning rhythm. Saraswati Vidya Mandir, established 2008, is a senior secondary campus in Dehradun, Uttarakhand — a CBSE-affiliated school. Day-to-day work is anchored in curriculum maps, defined assessment cycles, and faculty review built into the calendar. Role: as Principal, you work closely with the Principal on academic and operational decisions — leading a section/team, driving teacher development, overseeing assessments, and holding the line on standards. Day to day, you will:

  • Run faculty meetings, academic reviews, and section-level planning.
  • Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.
  • Approve calendars, assessment papers, and major parent communication.
  • 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. Compensation and environment:
  • Salary structured fairly across roles (₹12.1 LPA – ₹12.7 LPA).
  • A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
  • Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
  • A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
  • Real backing from the leadership team when it matters. Apply through the platform using the button above; your profile lands with Saraswati Vidya Mandir instantly. Candidates who meet the brief are invited for interviews within the week.

Where exactly is Saraswati Vidya Mandir located?

The school is in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Check the "About the school" section for the campus link and the nearest public-transport reference.

Is accommodation provided?

Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation.

How do I write an application email for this Principal role?

Use a clear subject line with role and your name, open with which vacancy you're applying to, then a 4-5 line summary of qualifications, teaching experience and notice period. Close with availability for a demo lesson and interview. Attach a one-page PDF resume — long text bodies get skimmed.

Is there a probation period?

Most schools run a 3–6 month probation with the same salary as confirmation. Confirmation is typically subject to satisfactory performance reviews and document verification.

Which curriculum does the school follow?

Saraswati Vidya Mandir follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.

Can I negotiate the salary at Saraswati Vidya Mandir?

Does Saraswati Vidya Mandir help with relocation from another city?

Many CBSE, ICSE and IB schools in Dehradun offer on-campus or subsidised accommodation, one-time relocation reimbursement, or help finding rentals nearby. Ask about "relocation assistance" and "staff quarters" in the interview — it's a common ask.
