Camino Academy welcomes conversations with accredited universities worldwide — with particular interest in Latin America, Spain, and the United States — to place students and, where appropriate, host graduate research under IRB governance on bilingual coaching in real organizational contexts.
Partnership Goals
Build formal university relationships that give students meaningful hours, defendable artifacts, and research integrity — while helping Camino grow its digital courses, classroom resources, and international market insight under faculty oversight.
Programs We Fit Well
- TESOL, applied linguistics, and education fields that need a remote-friendly site with clear deliverables
- Coordinators who want structured outputs (portfolio work, memos, course assets) aligned to learning outcomes
- Graduate committees pursuing action research on bilingual adult instruction — IRB remains with the degree-granting institution
Two Collaboration Models
1 · Practicum Hosting
Students earn placement hours, strengthen portfolios, and complete scoped projects that support Camino’s learning products and operations — always within the requirements your program publishes for supervision, ethics, and assessment.
2 · Graduate Research Site
For thesis or dissertation work, students conduct research under their university’s IRB and committee rules, with access to Camino’s bilingual coaching context as a study setting. Scholarly publication is possible when the program and journal path support it. Camino does not represent that IRB approval, defense, or publication has occurred until your institution confirms those milestones.
The CAMINO Way™ is used with the ™ symbol pending U.S. registration; formal legal questions route through counsel.
Regions of Focus
Open to inquiries from accredited institutions worldwide.
Active priority for partnerships serving Spanish-speaking professionals building high-stakes English for work, licensure, and mobility — aligned with Camino’s bilingual delivery model.
Continued priority, including programs that prepare teachers and coaches for multilingual workplaces.

Spain & Fulbright
My Fulbright chapter in Spain sharpened how I listen across languages, keep paperwork and empathy in the same conversation, and show up when I am the guest in the room. Those habits still shape how I build university partnerships—bilingual by default, careful about ethics and timelines, and clear about what Camino can host. Camino Academy LLC is a separate Maryland company; Fulbright España and the people around it are part of my professional story, not co-branding partners on Camino contracts or revenue.
