How do I write an application email for this Principal role?
Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "Principal application — Sri Sai Vidyashram"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Sri Sai Vidyashram and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.
Is English fluency required?
