Why teach at ECA?

At ECA, teaching is more than a profession — it is a calling.

Our faculty members:

  • Deliver rigorous, standards-based lessons
  • Teach in a full English immersion environment
  • Collaborate in a supportive Christian community
  • Invest in students’ character and leadership development

We serve families who value both academic quality and Christ-centered formation. Our graduates earn a U.S. High School Diploma and the Colombian Bachillerato (for students who fulfill the national requirements), preparing them for universities locally and internationally.

Mission organizations & partners

ECA partners with Christian mission agencies and church networks to welcome educators who feel called to serve internationally.

RCE serves international Christian schools and education ministries in their mission of providing exceptional educational opportunities with a biblical foundation and Christian worldview.

TeachBeyond equips and connects educators, schools, and organizations to serve our Lord with integrity and excellence in pursuit of our common vision for transformational education.

First Love is an interdenominational mission agency founded for the purpose of bringing the life-giving message of salvation through Jesus Christ to unreached people residing in impoverished regions of the world.

MissionNext exists to help educators who would like to serve internationally find positions with Christian schools outside the U.S. and Canada.

Why is support raising valuable for our teachers? Aside from the value of offering an affordable education and investing in the ministries represented at ECA, raising support and establishing a support team plays a pivotal role for teachers by creating a network of friends, family, churches, and others who are committed to not only supporting them financially, but also partnering with them through prayer and encouragement. This ongoing support is critical as teachers experience various levels of cultural and social transition throughout their time at ECA.
