.La Casa de la Luz is looking for a person with the right profile to take over the management of an active pedagogy school that currently covers Infant and Primary education, with the possibility of extending to Secondary education.
Who are we and where do we come from?
La Casa de la Luz was born as a response to the concerns of a group of families who were looking for new educational visions for their daughters/sons.
The main objective of this school has always been to seek the integral development of each child, respecting their learning rhythms, thus allowing a healthy and balanced growth.
At La Casa de la Luz we work so that the child acquires, in addition to their curricular training, a human formation that includes an emotional dimension, creativity, autonomy, decision-making and conflict resolution skills.
Currently, this young school welcomes 55 students (with the intention of reaching 65), 1 administrator, 6 guides and several families with a high level of involvement.
These reduced ratios allow us to attend to the interests and individual needs of our students.
We are privileged to be located in a unique enclave, surrounded by nature in one of the most beautiful areas of Spain.
Our love for nature is nourished by the ability to develop our learning in the 'Alcornocales' Natural Park.
The school is immersed in a process of transformation, from being a "family project" to establishing itself as an accredited international school, respecting its community roots and free spirit.
To do this, we have the support of committed families and we are looking for a director to help us navigate this transition.
What profile are we looking for?
