School of Creative Learning invites applications from qualified and committed professionals for the teaching and non-teaching positions listed below.
We are a co-educational senior secondary (10+2) school in Patna, Bihar, teaching up to Class XII. We look for educators who teach beyond the textbook — who ask good questions, build on what children already know, and treat assessment as a way to understand learning rather than only to rank it. If that is how you work, we would like to hear from you.
Eligibility and Rules
Appointments will be made as per the service rules of the school. Selected candidates should be prepared to join at short notice.
Candidates must state in their application the level — PGT, TGT or PRT — they are applying for. Selection is to a panel, from which appointments are made as and when posts arise.
Minimum qualifications follow the NCTE regulations in force and the recruitment rules of the State Government. Where the two differ, the NCTE regulations prevail.
