In June 2010 the Ministry of Education in Colombia selected Anaheim University, together with Anaheim's partner Colombian institution, the Universidad de La Sabana, to train 100 state-school teachers appointed and subsidized by the Colombian Ministry of Education in AU's Graduate Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Diploma.
Beginning in February 2011, these teachers will pursue Anaheim's six-course Graduate Diploma in TESOL and continue towards a Masters degree in English Language Teaching at the Universidad de La Sabana in Colombia.
Anaheim University was selected because of its world-renowned faculty and online nature, allowing the Ministry of Education to greatly reduce its costs to train 100 teachers spread throughout the country while still providing face-to-face classroom opportunities. Anaheim University's renowned faculty will teach the program through a combination of online learning and three four-day residential sessions held on the campus of Universidad de La Sabana, in Chia, just outside Bogota, Colombia.
