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.”
