Job description

St. Mary'S Convent Sc. Dakpathar 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. St. Mary'S Convent Sc. Dakpathar in Dehradun, Uttarakhand functions as a senior secondary institution — a CBSE-affiliated school. The leadership team is closely involved in academic planning and faculty support, with a sharp focus on classroom impact. Position: as Head of School, you are part of the school's leadership group.

  • 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. Perks and culture:
  • Fair compensation with annual review (₹11.5 LPA – ₹13.8 LPA).
  • Stable, full-time engagement with a clear academic calendar.
  • Regular PD through internal and external programmes.
  • A working culture that takes faculty wellbeing seriously.
