iTeach Schools is a fast-growing community of transformational schools focused on providing a free, foundational and, excellent education to secondary students. We operate nine schools from Grades VIII to X across Pune, collaborating with the Pune Municipal Corporation. (Breeze through our five-year journey here, or get a peek into a typical school day here!)
Our students belong to Pune’s most under-resourced households, and by the time they reach secondary school, they are already between three to five academic years behind their high-income peers. Our schools exist to give them a fighting chance at college, career, and citizenship, through which they can lift themselves and their families out of poverty. In our seventh year, we serve 2000 students and 1350 student alumni through a strong team of nearly 170 staff members. In the academic year 2022-2023, we are looking to expand our community of schools and are looking for exceptional individuals to lead these efforts!
Role
At iTeach, the School Principal is the CEO of the school. Along with the vice-principal and/or lead teachers, they are responsible for the management and development of their team (typically comprising twenty staff members), the holistic learning for each student, and the rapid progress of the entire school towards its vision. The School Principal also leverages donors, government officials, program partners, and community leaders towards achieving their school goals. Lastly, the School Principal is a part of the iTeach Leadership Team and consequently plays a vital role in shaping the entire organization’s strategy and growth.
