Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is not standard for day-school roles — confirm details with the Principal's office during the interview.
How do I make a resume for a CBSE Principal job?

Is this a remote / work-from-home opportunity?
School roles are on-site by default — classroom teaching and student supervision require physical presence. Online tutoring openings are tagged separately on School Jobs India.
Can I negotiate the salary at St. Thomas School?
Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities.
