School Principal

**Why do we exist? What do we do?**

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.

**Role Summary**

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.
