Is background verification done before joining?
Standard pre-joining checks cover qualification documents, prior employment, and reference calls. Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification.
Which curriculum does the school follow?
Sunrise Convent School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Does Sunrise Convent School help with relocation from another city?
Relocation support varies by school. Residential campuses often include free accommodation and meals; day schools may offer a one-time shifting allowance or help with local rental scouting. Confirm the specifics in writing before you accept.
