Which curriculum does the school follow?
Visakha Valley School follows the CBSE curriculum, so teaching, assessment and reporting align to that framework.
Will I get PF and statutory benefits?

What's the interview process like for this teaching role?

How do I write an application email for this HOD Languages role?
Keep it three short paragraphs: (1) subject line "HOD Languages application — Visakha Valley School"; (2) one paragraph on your qualifications and current role; (3) one paragraph on why Visakha Valley School and your earliest joining date. Attach a PDF resume and any teaching-credentials scans.
Is school transport available for staff?

I'm serving notice — should I still apply?
Absolutely — schools regularly hire candidates on notice. Be upfront about your release date so interview scheduling and the offer timeline can be aligned.
