Overview

The Indian International School in United Arab Emirates, Foreign Schools is on the lookout for a Principal. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery. The Indian International School, established 2011, runs as a senior secondary campus in United Arab Emirates, Foreign Schools — a CBSE-affiliated school.

  • 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. Qualifications and skills:
  • Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
  • Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
  • Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
  • High professional integrity and a clear communication style. What we offer:
  • Competitive, on-time salary (₹10.4 LPA – ₹10.9 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. Send your CV through this listing — no separate email is required for The Indian International School. The hiring lead reaches out personally to take qualifying candidates forward.
