Overview
SHRI Guru Nanak Public School in Dehradun, Uttarakhand is on the lookout for a Head of School. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. About the institution: SHRI Guru Nanak Public School in Dehradun, Uttarakhand — a senior secondary setup, established 1998, — a CBSE-affiliated school. The school invests consistently in academic resources, classroom technology, and a culture of professional respect.

- Observe classes, give actionable feedback, follow up on teacher development.

- Master's degree with a relevant teaching qualification (B.Ed./M.Ed. preferred).
- Significant classroom experience plus years in coordination/leadership.
- Calm, confident judgement with students, parents, and staff.
- Clear writing for academic plans, reports, and parent communication.
- A track record of building and retaining strong teaching teams. Why join us:

- Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
- Real ownership of your subject/function from day one.
- A leadership team that listens, supports, and gives credit.
- A campus that respects educators as professionals. Submit your application here so SHRI Guru Nanak Public School can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
