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.”

✨ Summerlim reached for the stars! 🌟🪐
We were thrilled to welcome members of the Asociación Astronómica de Cartagena to our summer programme 🚀. They inspired our pupils with fascinating facts and curious questions about space, planets, stars, and even the origin of life! 🌌🌍
But the real highlight? 🔭 A unique LUNT telescope – the only one of its kind in the region – that allowed our children to safely observe the surface of the Sun. They spotted solar flares, sunspots and more, live and in real time! ☀️🕶️
It was truly a mind-blowing experience for everyone involved 🤯💫
A massive thank you to the Asociación Astronómica de Cartagena for this unforgettable visit and for bringing science to life in such an exciting way 🙌 https://astronomiacartagena.com/

Fue una experiencia alucinante para todos 🤯💫
