The Martinez Scholarship History describes a school-based scholarship established by the Martinez family to bless El Camino Academy graduates. Martinez Scholarship applicants go through a rigorous application process, and the winners receive monetary scholarships to help with first-year college expenses. Since 2009, 51 ECA graduates have received scholarships to help with the costs of their first year of college, with recipients studying in the United States, Colombia, and Europe in fields such as nursing, international business, design, chemistry, aerospace engineering, global studies, and more. The Martinez Family continues to support El Camino graduates with these scholarships.
El Camino Academy is an interdenominational Christian school in Bogotá offering an American-style Pre-K through 12 curriculum with AP options. The program uses a U.S.-based framework through high school, with an option to meet Colombian diploma requirements. Bible, physical education, and fine arts are integrated for all students. AP preparation is available based on student interest and staffing. Secondary class periods are 45 minutes; most core subjects meet five times weekly, while Bible, PE, and electives meet two to four times weekly. All graduates receive both American and a Colombian high school diploma. Founded in 1980 by North American missionaries, ECA has held ACSI accreditation since 1999. The 1.15-acre campus on Bogotá's northern edge houses a library with over 20,000 volumes (90% in English), a science lab, and dedicated art and music spaces. Extracurriculars include a broad sports program and En Sus Manos Music Academy, and a revived ECA Band.
