Committed to the integral development of students from our international school in San Miguel de Salinas (Alicante)
From prioritising their wellbeing through caring and compassionate staff to fostering multilingual excellence and instilling a sense of global citizenship, we provide a holistic education that empowers students from our international school in San Miguel de Salinas (Alicante) to thrive academically and personally.
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.”
