El Camino Academy was established over 20 years ago to provide a quality education for the children of missionaries working in Bogota', Colombia, or nearby.  Currently there are over 150 students, Kindergarten through 12th grade, receiving a quality American education.  Approximately half of those students are the children of missionaries who are at work in or near Bogota, while the rest are composed of children of local Christian workers, business men and women, or international students.  Most of the students parents are involved with building churches, job training centers, homeless and drug rehabilitation homes, working with street children and providing housing and schooling for those abandoned, seminaries, and much much more.  It is work that would not be possible without El Camino providing a stable quality education that also allows the children to live at home with their parents, providing a normal family life.
