Secondary Teacher - Head of Middle School

About the School - ELIS Murcia

El Limonar International School Murcia is an international, British curriculum school for boys and girls aged 3 – 18, founded in 1990. The school follows the National Curriculum for England and Wales and prepares its pupils for further education both in Spain and abroad. About 80% of the school day is taught in English. The school values both the academic and social development of each pupil through individual attention and multilingualism.

By being an international British school, our students benefit from the best of two worlds: the sound foundation of the Spanish Curriculum and the innovation and hands-on character of the British Curriculum. As a result, students graduate from the school with dual official qualifications: at the end of Secondary, the British IGCSEs and the Spanish ‘Graduate in Compulsory Secondary Education’ certificate; and the Spanish ‘Baccalaureate’ certificate and English A-Level certificates, at the end of their Sixth Form studies. This, alongside an intercultural mindset, allow them to apply successfully to the best universities around the world.

The school now has an exciting opportunity for an experienced  Secondary Teacher - Head of Middle School to join our fantastic team.
