Principal for CBSE School

DA VINCI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL · India

Role Overview

We are seeking a dynamic, operationally focused Principal to lead the administration, growth, and holistic development of our school. Under our specialized leadership structure, the Principal is entirely relieved of day-to-day academic management—which is spearheaded by a dedicated Academic Head. This allows the Principal to focus exclusively on institutional excellence, admissions strategy, parent relations, and building a thriving, disciplined school environment.

Salary Range: Rs 80,000 - 1,00,000

2. Admissions Planning & Institutional Growth

* Develop and execute a comprehensive annual admissions strategy, initiating the planning phase as early as September.

* Lead school outreach, local awareness campaigns, and strategic marketing activities.

* Drive parent engagement during the enrollment process, actively managing the pipeline from initial enquiry to final conversion.

3. Holistic Student Development (Sports & Extracurriculars)

* Champion the holistic development of students by aggressively strengthening sports and extracurricular programs.

* Implement systems to identify student talent early.

* Design and oversee proper, structured training programs for gifted students.

* Actively create and facilitate opportunities for students to participate and compete at state and national levels.

* Proactively manage parent communication and ensure a transparent, collaborative relationship.

* Address and resolve parent grievances efficiently and empathetically.

Ideal Candidate Profile

* Sports & Culture Advocate: Deep appreciation for extracurriculars and sports, with experience (or a strong network) in facilitating high-level student competitions.

* Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills for managing parent relationships, staff coordination, and community outreach.
