Curriculum & Learning Designer - English & Maths

Job Title: Curriculum & Learning Designer - English / Maths

School: Chrysalis High World School, Gunjur, Bengaluru

Department: Academics & Curriculum

Reports To: Principal (academic outputs also reviewed by Chairman & CEO)

Employment: Type Full-Time

Start Date: August 2026 (pre-launch phase — no students in Year 1)

Curriculum: Cambridge International (CAIE) — Primary through Lower Secondary

About the School

· Chrysalis High World School is a new Cambridge International school launching in July 2027 in Gunjur, Bengaluru, on a shared campus with the established Chrysalis High (CBSE).

· The school is in its pre-launch phase and working toward full Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) affiliation.

· The Curriculum & Learning Designer will join in August 2026, a full year before the first student walks through the door, as a founding academic team member responsible for building the school’s entire curriculum architecture of a specific subject from the ground up.

Role Purpose

· The Curriculum & Learning Designer will spend the entire first year — August 2026 to July 2027 — without a single student in the building. That is both the challenge and the opportunity: 12 uninterrupted months to design, document, and operationalise a complete Cambridge curriculum framework and resources for the specific assigned subject for Grades 1–8 before the school opens.

· The role has two equally important dimensions. Academically, this person is the school’s in-house Cambridge authority: designing Schemes of Work, building the resource library, supporting CAIE affiliation documentation, and recruiting and inducting the founding teacher team.

· Other responsibilities will include presenting at Open Houses, answering parent curriculum questions at admissions events, and helping the Parent Relations & Outreach Lead convert Cambridge-curious families into confirmed enrolments.

· The person who will thrive in this role is equally comfortable writing a Scheme of Work and explaining to the parents why Cambridge Pathways is the right choice for their child.

Key Responsibilities

• Curriculum Framework & Architecture

· Design and document a comprehensive, stage-by-stage curriculum framework for Cambridge Primary (Grades 1–5) and Cambridge Lower Secondary (Grades 6–8), covering one of the subjects (as per your subject domain) such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Global Perspectives as a subject matter expert.

· Develop subject-specific Schemes of Work (SoW) that align with CAIE learning objectives, Cambridge learner attributes, and the school’s vision and mission.

· Ensure curriculum continuity and vertical progression across grades, so that learning in Grade 3 meaningfully builds on Grade 2 and prepares for Grade 4.

· Map curriculum outcomes to CAIE’s Cambridge Pathway, ensuring readiness for Cambridge IGCSE transition at Grade 9.

· Develop an interdisciplinary framework where relevant, incorporating project-based learning (PBL), STEaM integration, and Global Perspectives threads across subjects.

• Lesson Planning & Resource Development

· Create or curate high-quality lesson plan templates, unit plans, and teaching resources aligned to CAIE syllabi for each subject and grade band.

· Build a resource library covering Cambridge-endorsed textbooks, supplementary materials, digital tools, and assessment banks for use by all subject teachers.

· Develop formative and summative assessment frameworks including rubrics, check-for understanding tools, and end-of-unit assessments that reflect Cambridge assessment principles.

· Design a co-curricular and enrichment curriculum that supports the Cambridge learner profile through activities, clubs, competitions, and community engagement.

· Create resources for subject-specific in-house programs identified by the school.

• CAIE Affiliation Support

· Serve as the school’s internal subject matter expert on CAIE requirements, staying current with Cambridge curriculum updates, syllabi revisions, and affiliation guidelines.

· Prepare and maintain curriculum documentation required for CAIE affiliation inspection, including subject plans, learning outcome matrices, and teaching and learning policies.

· Liaise with the Principal on CAIE compliance timelines, ensuring all curriculum deliverables are inspection-ready ahead of the affiliation visit.

· Support the preparation of the Cambridge School Review submission, particularly the sections covering curriculum breadth, depth, and assessment practice.
