El Limonar International School Murcia was established in 1990 to offer a British international curriculum for students aged 3–18, aligned with the National Curriculum for England and Wales. The school integrates elements of the Spanish and British curricula, resulting in graduates who obtain British IGCSEs and Spanish qualifications, including the Spanish Graduado en Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, the Spanish Baccalaureate, and English A-Levels. There are two campuses: Buenavista Campus (63,000 m2) for Early Years and Primary, and Montevida Campus (15,000 m2) for Secondary and Sixth Form, with facilities such as IT suites, science laboratories, art rooms, drama and music studios, and extensive sports facilities. The Executive Principal is Vanessa Grimward, MEd, recognised as a European Regional Winner in 2023 by Pearson International School Leader of the Year. ELIS Murcia is part of the Cognita family of schools.

This dual-curriculum model allows students to graduate with British IGCSEs and A-Levels, alongside the Spanish Graduate in Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate certificates. A standout feature is the immersive multilingual program; students take classes in English and Spanish, and study French, German, or Chinese, achieving certified proficiency in three languages by graduation. The school operates across two sites, including the 63,000-square-meter Buenavista Campus for younger students, which features an open-air amphitheater, a swimming pool, and science laboratories. The Galileo Middle School area specifically supports Year 7 and 8 students in their transition to secondary education. Students can also participate in the ELIS El Valle Trail race and community service initiatives with Cáritas, reflecting the school's active role in the Murcia region.
