OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP

Meet our Headteacher,
Jon Wayth

With extensive experience and a passion for education, Jon Wayth brings a wealth of knowledge to El Limonar International School Villamartín.

His leadership embodies a commitment to fostering holistic growth and a dynamic learning environment for students.

“As Headteacher of ELIS Villamartín, as a teacher and as a parent, I base my work on a single, fundamental belief: children can, and will receive many gifts in life, but the only one that will truly stay with them forever is a high-quality education. We clearly see that the education we provide for our students must, first and foremost, open as many doors as possible for their lives after school has finished.”

- Jon Wayth, Headteacher

An amazing school that offers great activities outside school hours too. My son loves coming to school to learn and socialise with his classmates.

- Carmela Sáez Fernández
My daughter started school in September, and we could not be happier. The relationship with the teachers is fantastic. At home, we have only spoken Spanish to her since birth, and in just a few months she is already saying many phrases in English. The leadership team is also excellent and, overall, we have not had a single problem — quite the opposite, we are delighted with everything related to the school. They also organise wonderful and productive workshops every month. We are extremely happy with the decision we made for our daughter to attend this school.

★★★★★


- Hugo S.

★★★★★


- Pepi Hernandez
It has been an absolutely excellent decision. Although daily life naturally has its challenges, the effort and outstanding work carried out by the school make it all worthwhile. The teaching staff, dining hall team, maintenance staff, and leadership are all genuinely approachable and competent, and everyone knows everyone by name, which is something truly appreciated — it feels like one BIG FAMILY. We are very excited and happy with our decision to commit to this school, and most importantly, this review truly reflects the opinion of the person who matters most... THE PUPIL.
