A settled, professional environment with clear academic systems, structured staff meetings, and steady infrastructure investment.

Core responsibilities:

  • Lead and inspire a high-performing academic team.
  • Maintain standards through reviews, observations, and structured feedback.
  • Drive the assessment, reporting, and parent communication cycle.

  • 8+ years in school education with leadership exposure.
  • Direct experience running a section, department, or full school.
  • A point of view on good teaching, good assessments, and good schools.
  • Patience to coach and firmness to enforce standards.
  • Strong personal organisation across multiple workstreams. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹12.2 LPA – ₹20.2 LPA).
  • Defined working hours aligned with the school timetable.
  • Investment in your growth — training, mentorship, peer learning.
  • A respectful work environment focused on outcomes.
  • Access to school resources, libraries, labs, and digital tools. Submit your application here so St. Peter's Academy can shortlist you alongside the active pool. Strong profiles move to a brief teaching demo and a discussion with the academic head.
