Description

St. Wilfred's School in Jaipur

St. Wilfred’s School in Jaipur is part of a school group with a total of 13 branches across India. It offers Middle School Grades VI–VIII and High School Grades IX–XII (with students typically aged 12–18).

The school follows the curriculum of the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education, which includes subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Hindi, a third language (French), and Art. It prepares students for the CBSE final examination, which qualifies them for university studies. In addition to academic education, the school places great emphasis on character development and social awareness.

The school has approximately 1,300 students, with a student-teacher ratio of 1:20.

The school infrastructure includes smart classrooms, well-equipped laboratories for Computer Science, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, as well as a library, sports facilities, music rooms, and art & craft areas. Notably, the school has its own swimming pool and an outdoor sports field. The sports program includes yoga, cricket, badminton, football, basketball, volleyball, chess, billiards, table tennis, and boxing. Additionally, the school offers vocal and instrumental music lessons.

Education in India is seen as the most important path to social advancement. Many parents place their children under high academic pressure to secure top positions in exams and competitions.

The students who attend a private English-medium middle and high school like St. Wilfred’s generally come from upper-middle-class families. These families prioritize high-quality education, particularly in English, as it is considered key to better career opportunities and international recognition. Many students are from families where at least one parent holds an academic degree or a specialized professional qualification. Others are children of businesspeople, government officials, or senior employees, who can afford private school fees and see quality education as essential for their children's future success.

In recent years, however, an increasing number of emerging lower and middle-middle-class families have also started sending their children to private English schools. These parents invest a significant portion of their income in their children’s education to provide them with better future prospects.


Internship at St. Wilfred’s School

St. Wilfred’s School offers internship opportunities for aspiring educators.

During your internship, you will have the chance to conduct lessons independently, with an experienced teacher present in the classroom for support. You will typically teach 5 lessons per day, each lasting 40 minutes. Subjects available for internships include English, Science, Mathematics, Sports, and French. You will follow the Indian curriculum.

You will actively participate in lesson planning and preparation and contribute your own ideas to the teaching process.

The internship should last at least 8 weeks. The preferred start dates for internships are July and January.

The period from April to June is less suitable for an internship, as May and June are exam months.


Application Process

Please first submit an inquiry via this website and email us your English-language CV/resume. We will then arrange an online interview with the school, for which we will provide you with guidance and preparation. You will only confirm your final booking once you have been officially accepted by the school.
