Professional Life at Avasara

Every role at Avasara Academy serves the institution in two ways - one is serving the mission and the other is a functional role (teacher, administrator, etc.).

At Avasara Academy, we work to build an ecosystem that nurtures our vision of creating the next generation of women leaders for India. All staff must work together to realise our mission to empower girls of promise to lead lives of distinction and impact. We embrace and wholeheartedly fulfil the responsibility of carefully nurturing the competencies, mindsets, dispositions, and unique leadership styles of each of our students. Our work continues beyond the school years as Avasara continues to support our alumni throughout their lives by connecting them to powerful networks that can help them facilitate large-scale change. Avasara Academy, therefore, is not just a school but a life-long network that will cultivate ethical, innovative, and entrepreneurial leaders.

As you think about the Avasara opportunity, we invite you to reflect on three questions:

1. Do I care deeply about working with a diverse group of young women on their personal journeys towards excellence?
2. Am I committed to the mission of Avasara and to leading others in its pursuit?
3. Do I possess competencies, mindsets, and dispositions that can support students’ mastery of Math and holistic development?
