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.”

Estas vivencias en entornos nuevos no solo son emocionantes, sino también una oportunidad de crecimiento personal. Ayudan a nuestros alumnos a ganar confianza, a ser más autónomos y a reforzar los lazos dentro del grupo. 💪🌿

A touch of art… and heart! 🎨💚
Our wonderful Art & Design student Zoe Bloom thought our Executive Principal’s office could use a little extra colour — so she decided to brighten it up with her own beautiful artwork! 🖼️🍋
Inspired by nature and lemon trees, Zoe created a series of paintings to bring the space to life 🌿💛.
As a thank you for her inspiring work, our Executive Principal gifted Zoe a small lemon tree — a thoughtful present closely connected to the theme of her art 🌱💛.
What a kind and generous gesture — Zoe, we’re so lucky to have students like you who truly embody our ELIS Values. THANK YOU! 🙌💚
¡Un toque de arte... y de corazón! 🎨💚
Nuestra estupenda alumna de Art & Design, Zoe Bloom, pensó que el despacho de nuestra directora ejecutiva necesitaba un poco más de color, así que decidió alegrarlo con sus propias obras de arte 🖼️🍋.
Inspirada en la naturaleza y los limoneros, Zoe pintó unos preciosos cuadros que llenaron de vida el espacio 🌿💛.
Como muestra de agradecimiento por su trabajo inspirador, nuestra directora ejecutiva le regaló a Zoe un pequeño limonero — un detalle muy vinculado con la temática de sus obras 🌱💛.
Qué gesto tan amable y generoso. Zoe, ¡qué suerte tenemos de contar con alumnas como tú, que encarnan a la perfección nuestros Valores ELIS! ¡GRACIAS! 🙌💚
